Kimber Warrior Picture Thread!!! (Page 5 of 6)
Well I have wanted a Kimber ever since I shot my cousins sometime last year. My friend Bryan carries a Pro Carry and has a Warrior and today I scored. Used Warrior which looks fucking stellar for $900 cash out the door. Eventually I'll start adding stuff to it. If you guys want to make recommendations, I'd appreciate it as this is my first 1911 and I don't know much about the platform other than it is a 100 year old design that people still trust. Without further delay, pictures!

Any suggestions for stuff to do with it would be welcome.

Here's my desert warrior. The wife got me some VZ Alien grips for my b-day, they're awesome for shooting, but not comfortable for carry (working on hip callouses as we speak). Also threw on an extended slide release which took a bit of fitting and smoothing (but an amateur like me can do it) and an 18.5# spring. Runs great, I just wish I could shoot as well as it does, practice practice practice.
The Aliens have great gription, are just a tad thinner than the stock ones, and the ridges are good for feeling your way to a consistent grip. This should give a better idea of the grip profile.

chuck rogers did the magwell and the golf balls front and rear.
novak sights with front tritium black rear. simonich golf ball grips in peanut too. that's how i got it. I replaced the grips with slim vz's. I then put on a nighthawk slide stop (I like the ledge style) I also have a nighthawk short trigger. Sending it out now to get the frame dimpled around the slide stop on the right, as well as a new magwell blend to match the thinner grips and the trigger install so a professional can make sure its smooth. |
There is but one truth in the world and it is all yours. If you are not sure of it stay at home; but if you are sure don't look back and it will be your way.

I was just wondering if you could tell me who makes the magwell on your Warrior? I really like the beveled edges on the side of it. |

Here is my Warrior. 
Something I would like to know though.... For all of you who have a Warrior, maybe a Custom Covert II, or any Kimber with the KIM PRO II finish on it. Why does the safety selector turn chalky and dull? This happened on my Custom Covert II before I ever fired it. And it has happened on my Warrior as well, that is new to me, and only has 70-80rds through it. It is worse now than when I took this picture three weeks ago... I did not read this whole thread. I wanted to post a photo of my warrior. Then I thought I would ask here, because I did a search on the key words in my question above ~ results = negative Thanks, M4-CQBR |
Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom

I was looking on the Kimber web site and noticed no Warriors on their page anymore. Unless I missed it I didn't see it. |
