One of the local auction houses handles firearms that are police trade-ins or seized and no longer needed for evidence.  Two weeks ago I was perusing their site and spotted two full size Kimbers mixed in with the Hi Points and Lorcins.  A couple of clicks and then a few days waiting for the auction to end....


Here are the two rescue guns with my other Kimbers:




Some cleaning and a quick Brownells shipment, and here is the new family photo:



All 4 are Series 1....not a Schwartz in the lot.  


The bonus:  




Only 1 of the new ones is a Clackamas.  The other is a Yonkers but with a 111xx serial number.  Still pretty early.  

I made a quick range trip over the weekend to try them out.  The early Yonkers gun runs like a sewing machine, but the Clackamas gun had 3 failures to chamber and needs the extractor tuned.  I'll give Nelson Ford a call later this week and see how long it will take for a pair of trigger and reliability jobs.  


Hopefully none of you were the other people bidding  

Nice score! Love my series 1 Kimbers. Have one Clack myself that is a tack driver.

Do all cities have these? How would I go about knowing whether that is the case?

One citys junk and all.  nice score!

Great find! I have 3 clacks and they are perfect. If you don't mind, what did you pay? My last one ran me $800 after shipping and FFL fees...
