$1300 Kimber ? Uhh y'all chose a high dollar jammomatic. Mext time go with a XD45 or some other main stream 45 that performs much better for half as much

That's harsh! Didn't you mean rust- o-matic? But seriously, folks, you buy a 3" Kimber to show your friends. You get a Glock to show the bad guys, or Smith M&P. Half the price, no rust, more bullets. The steel Kimbers are too heavy; the aluminum Kimbers can't be shot enough for you to get good. Everyone needs a 1911 for posterity, but you carry a modern hi cap polymer for defense.

Oh yes, you left out one important thing: prepaid legal defense coverage in case you actually use that handgun, or maybe even brandish that pistol. Without that coverage, if you ever pull the trigger, be prepared to spend $50-100 thousand, and that's if you're innocent of wrongdoing.

If you think that's expensive, wait until you get the bug to collect firearms. A few of us laugh at that total as being "expensive," as we look at our collection and the numbers really start adding up.

Seriously, I have a spreadsheet with all the guns I own on it along with their serial number and what I paid for them. And that doesn't even include the thousands of rounds of ammo I've stockpiled.

I won't even share what the grand total is as my wife would kill me, and that's at pre-Sandy Hook prices; but I will say I could almost buy a house with it...and I am one of the "lighter" members of the "serious collectors guild" in that regard.

One of the guns in my collection could buy me some good acreage should i decide to part with it. But i got lucky on the buy and they guy selling it thought it was a reproduction.

It's funny....generally speakin', we razz folks about their gun choices, but we don't ridicule 'em for 'em. But...I can go there if ya'll REALLY wanna.

It really bothers me to agree with you on anything.

You'll have to speak up. Your blow-dryer was a little too loud & I couldn't quite hear you. Something about a glock? If you're looking for it I think you left it by your purse. I'm headed down to the drugstore - did you need anything? Lipstick? Vogue magazine? Skin moisturizer?

Don't forget your Glock when you go out for tea with the ladies this afternoon. I'll be back around 4.

I'm guessing if a bad guy stuck one in your ear and asked nicely for your wallet you would hear that. Just sayin...

I am but only in malls.

 

[wakal]

Price is no indication of quality...just look at the asking price for Kimber

The worse CHL class I've ever seen was $180. I caught the instructor and his batch of students sleeping in the range shack at 2pm, "killing time" until ten hours were up.

At least in my classes, the last hour is spend carefully evaluating safe gun handling using assorted full auto guns...hard to sleep through that

Apologies. I was effected by a brief YouTube clip of Honey Boo Boo.

Ram Boo Boo?

OK, my gun purchasing this past year (which would be the first time purchasing - previous gun I own was a gift) cost me around $3000...for two pistols and a used rifle. Granted, that includes no CHL class and not enough ammo (Mostly because of the ammo panic), but then again I didn't buy a Kimber, either. My RIA 1911 and my SIG don't add up to the cost of that Kimber!

I stopped counting when I hit $12,000 last year. I would venture that I ended around 16k.
