Just took receipt of my new gun

[Wiregeek]

A Kimber CDP Custom II in .45ACP....
DELICIOUS. I have 240 rounds of ammo, a shoulder holster, and a belt holster sitting in the truck with it, I can't wait to get to the range!!!
Not freaking bad for $40!

... Must be nice living in a state that remembers that Guns are not evil and must be supressed in any and every way we can ignore the 2nd amendment.

A comment like that can get a thread moved to Politics and Other Fun rather quickly, you know... Anyway.

$40 for a .45ACP? New or used?

Field stripped and cleaned up, as soon as dad gets back from the lake we're gonna hit the range.

When I was 13 my parents gave me a .45 pistol for my birthday.
Granted, it was a flintlock, but it was a .45 pistol! My brother, 12, got a .45 percussion rifle.
We had a grand time riddling the oak tree on our front lawn with balls. Except when we had hangfires and misfires; what a pain in the ass those were. The worst, though, was when one of the brass caps on my ramrod came loose and got stuck in the barrel. I couldn't get it out and so had to shoot it into the tree. At least it fit more snugly with all it's dents and such.

Nice. I really need to find a good gunsmith and get Dad's Series 70 Combat Commander back to fireable condition.

Thankfully, I had an infantryman handy to help me understand the shoulder harness (side to side, cross on the back of the neck, it turns out), and the gun fits, carries, rides, and draws wonderfully.

I'll be picking up the .22lr receiver for it this fall, so I can do target-acquisition drill without breaking ears, wrist, or budget..

this is a wonderful gun, simple, reliable, just awesome. Needs sights, though!

It has sights, unless you mean that ya wanna go all tac-cool and pile on the laser sights, eye-removal scope & torches.

Hmm that reminds me that I've still to convert my Nerf guns tactical torch/pointer into a true laser sight.

[Wiregeek]

The current sights are flat black with no indicators at all, I'm getting a set with wee glow-in-the-dark dots on 'em.

I REALLY want to go Excess Tacti-Cool on my pump shotgun - there's a forestock with three picatinny rails on it, and I want to put a combo laser/light on each of 'em, so I can have the Predator Reticle..
