I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the pistol section. I'm thinking about buying one of these. It looks like a pretty well made unit. I also like the matte stainless (all the other conversions out there seem to be blue). Anyone have one of these? Did it take a long time to break in? How's the fit/finish in person? General impressions are greatly appreciated.
 
Re: Kimber 1911 conversion

It is wonderful. It is not a Colt Match Target Woodsman and will only funtion with Hi Vel ammo, BUT for cheap plinking and target shooting it does the job A+.
 
Re: Kimber 1911 conversion

The only ammo mine bugholed with with CCI Stingers.
Otherwise I found it less accurate than my Buckmark that replaced it and the host frame 1911.
The sights are great and mine ran like a sewing machine so if you're shooting at IPSC size targets you should be very happy with it.
