Are they even still in production?  I guess I should go look...................

I don't know.  I always thought they were very cool.  Not sure why they never really gained in popularity.

I see one at a Gunshow every once in a while.  I really don't think there are that many out there.

Add me to the list....

I bought the one on the EE some time ago that sported an American flag teflon job...
I'll send/post a pic if you like before I get "The Flag".

Shoots like a champ! It has yet to miss a beat.

I pick up Para factory or MecGar P14 mags when I can and keep feeding it.
I was not impressed with the last Kimber factory mags I bought....for the price and the quality they were NOT worth it....I'll stick with the Para mags...
I'll admit it is not my daily carry gun but it does get to go from time to time.
It is always a draw at the range, that is for sure.

P.S. ...  Don't tell the wife but it seems to be a chick magnet as well
That is until they give it a dance.
It is snappy...but....helping them with their grip is always a bonus!!

As stated in my PM...

Here ya go...crappy pic but you get the idea...

"helping them with their grip............."  I like the way you think!

I've never fired one, I imagine they are a bit snappy, on account of bein' a little "top heavy" and light in general.

Very interesting that standard Para Ordinance mags work in them.  I didn't know that.

Yeah - grip work only works from behind and close to the body to assist them.....hey, somebody needs to promote the sport!
They are more balanced than you would think....until they are empty that is...

P14 mags work but the top of the mag catch needs opened up slightly.
Dremmel tool with flat top stone works the best.
Feed and function have been 100%....MecGar works but factory Para (when you can find them) rock - especially if you can get the rounded floorplates.

That's a nice peice, how would that finish hold up for carry?

Here's mine, plain jane except a little sandpaper work on the grip safety.

Mag's are Kimber/Mec-Gar, got a decent price on em.  Thinking I'm gonna get a few Para mags when I can too.

I believe so....

Mine has been rock solid as well as my Custom TLE II with the same extractor.
