Sorry my pics aren't as good as your's!

I like the grips Ellison....its not often you get to see oak used....and I dont know why; I like oak. BTW, where did you find the brass grip screws? I cant say Ive ever saw a set.

Did you have it refinished? Noticed it said stainless.

Yes sir! KG GunKote flat black.

wow you made up my mind on doing it. looks good.

Why thanks you, thank you very muuuuchhh....LOL.

My/our good friend Dale (dsparkie) made the grips and I got the screws from Brownells after searching the ends of the earth locally...they ain't cheap either! But I figured they would make the oak and the casing enlay's look good, so I bought them!

Wow Skosh, those screws look just like the tacks my Mom used on the apolstrey on the furniture!!!

Don't let NK see this, or we'll never hear the end of it!

What's a guy to do, no 1911 collection is complete without a compact, and if DW made one i'd have had options, but.......

A cute little gun like that needs a round bottom.

Ahhh, the SemperFi-effect!

Pssst, I like Skoshs' grips. Don't tell him though.

Yeah, I know the grips are'nt flat bottom for the magwell...but what can I say? They're grippier than the Kimbers were, and I LOVE that old Eagle. Still suck at posting pictures, though

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...KIMBER8001.jpg

How do you like me now..........heheheheh

Good..that took the heat off me

That's good shooting Ellison, I've never questioned the accuracy of Kimbers or their reliability, the five I had were pretty damn good guns. I sold all mine and switched to DW's only because I thought they were better. You've done a very good job on your Kimber, you've every right to to be proud of it:) Mike

Thanks for your compliments and kind words Mike!

Very nice shooting,and the little girl still looks very sweet Ellison

Oh, you were showing pictures of your K*****r..... I knew we weren't allowed to mention that K word here let alone show pictures so thought you were all showing off your good looking grips ;)
Dave, since you have these Air Force grips you probably already know Fusion makes a USAF (new style logo) recoil spring plug, but here is a link just in case.

Note to self: wipe gun down real good before taking photos!

:D And I thought this thread got locked months ago!!! :D

Dreghorn, that ProCarry looks great with the bob-tail job....very nice!

Thanks skosh. It's just roughed in, needs to be polished to the file marks out, and the msh re blued, and a set of grips made to match the bob. Was using it for EDC till I got a Guardian. Now I need to clean it up more before I put it back in the carry rotation.

OK I'm very :confused:, I Have been informed by the Internet that you CAN NOT alter the frame of a Mimber....
What for it....



It will turn the frame into powder. HEhehehehe....
I know...:lame:

The one I "improved" and kept:

No Excuses, Dan Wesson makes Compacts
http://cz-usa.com/product/dan-wesson-valkyrie/
http://cz-usa.com/product/dw-eco-45-...hts-7-rd-mags/

Uh, the Valkyrie is not a compact, it has a commander slide which is 4", compacts are usually 3", am I right?


Plenty of other manufacturer's made compacts long before DW, who didn't start doing it until the ECO, what 2 years ago?

The ECO has a 3 1/2 inch barrel. Compact!
The Valkyrie DOES have a Commander length slide. Correct!

Sorry Clyde, but you know what they say, "It is better to ask forgiveness, than to ask permission"


Here is my KIMBER in 38 super (no they do not make one but I did)
