Burkey, Awsome piece! Can someone tell me what the big deal with series II kimbers is? WTF is everyones problem with the firing pin block? Does it really f@#$ things up or is it a solution for a problem that actually could occur? Thanx in advance. -Bub-

Thanks! As you know 1911 owners tend to be pretty crazy. They like the old fashioned things, thats the reason they keep supporting them so fanatically. The 1911 is old fashioned, outdated, and pretty poor compared to other more modern auto pistols out there, but it is a piece of our history. And when you go changing what is a part of our history, people get mad, really mad. As far as I can honestly tell, it does mess up anything, but it really isn't needed either. It does complicate assembly, but so does a full length guide rod. |

Anyone know who the stock grips on the Warrior are made by? They look like a nice design, are they better than say, Pachmyers?
I need to get something thinner and not as slippery as the pimp-ass Ivory grips that came on my Les Baer. |

"Better" is a subjective term. As to the stock grips, unsure who makes them..... the majority of the Warriors in this thread are wearing Gunner Grips. They're a good alternative. If you want stock Warrior grips, maybe one of the owners here who've replaced them would sell (keeping mine for originality). Try the EE and see if you can find a pair of take offs.... (try them first, there may be a reason many of us have replaced them
 ). |

I received an email today from Kimber.
They declined to disclose the supplier, and declined to sell grips as parts due to production demands. DaddyDett |

To Whom It May Concern,
I believe that there are more than enough photos and information on the Kimber Warrior/Desert Warrior in this thread to warrant tacking it. PLEASE TACK THIS THREAD. Thanx in advance. -Bub- |

Is there a difference between KimPro and KimProII? Does KimProII suck as well?

I've read a few complaints about a Kimpro finish (unsure of II or not, or of the difference).
My Desert Warrior has a seemingly really tough and nice finish. The "peeling out of the box" stuff I've read about seems like poor metal prep prior to finishing. I'd be surprised if Kimber gave any grief about repairing that under warranty. |

How hard would it be to make a Warrior as accurate as a CQB (1"/25yards)? What kind of parts would be needed?

I really want one, but investing so much in an already pricey pistol is hard for me to do.  |

What is the deal with some Warriors that have a solid trigger and some have the three hole trigger?
Nice pistols guys. I've been working on the wife for a few months so I can get one. |
