Bought my first 1911 yesterday

I picked up this used Kimber Raptor2 yesterday. Got a hell of a deal too. Pistol, 8 mags, Blackhawk! (not SERPA) holster, IWB holster (not pictured), 50 rnds Critical Defense and 25 rnds Federal Premium for $800.

Definitely won't be my last. I haven't shot it yet, but it feels awesome in my hand.

Of course it feels awesome. Because it is awesome.

You got a beauty.

I know what you mean about the feel. A 1911 is something that just seems to "fit". Feels great, the grip angle is juuust right, and that trigger break is oh-so-crisp and clean, with a reset that just can't be beat.

John Browning was way ahead of his time. I often wonder what he could have done with today's tech.

Congrats bro. I have the exact same one in ss, I loved everything except the grip and factory mags. I can't tell what mags are in those pics but get some Wilson combat or chip McCormick. Btw you got a hell of a deal. Gun alone is $1300 new.

This is the first firearm I've bought that I consider to have a 'proper' trigger. I bet it moves less than 1/4 of an inch. I thought my Rugers had OK triggers (and they do, for what they are), but this is beats them hands down.

I've named her Ginger.

Nice pickup. Welcome to the 1911 club. They multiply so be careful. Enjoy!

That's because John Moses Browning (peace be upon him) was a genius.

After your cousin?

Nice

It is a good thing you got a deal. Once you have one 1911 you will be searching for more.

When I bought my first, I said I was going to get one more to match it. I've since bought 20 more and own 16.

Just be careful with that wallet...and the drool.
