No way, Jose. That's a gat if I've ever seen one. It's good to hook as is. Maybe a couple of rubber bands around the grips....Originally Posted by OlongJohnson

This was my Dads with his passing 8 years ago it became mine ...36 no dash round butt.. I put a set of combat grips on it ...
Which begs the question: Why'd you get rid of it?
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
A bit of weakness that Im pretty sure involved one 1911 or another. I will most likely get another K6 in the near future.
Especially given this, which I may as well easter egg here in this thread, while we are on the subject:

But in the end all of these ideas just manufacture new criminals when the problem isn't a lack of criminals. -JRB
In that article, he reports Kimber is taking this position:
I disagree quite firmly, if the gun someone has is not a range toy. If the pin breaks at the wrong time, the user is screwed at best and dead at the worst.Kimber reports that the number of guns returned for firing pin issues has been extremely small, and they believe the problem was isolated to a very small number of guns. As a result, they dont believe its necessary to retrofit all guns with the old firing pin design on a precautionary basis
A firing prin that might break because of known issues is sort of a reverse Russian Roulette.

I agree with you, for the most part. That said, the later iterations seem to be GTG.

Exactly. Does "it's not necessary" mean they will or will not install a steel firing pin in my gun if I ask for one? If they won't do it until it breaks, the things are not only ugly, they're paperweights.

Yes, and it fits nicely into a common prejudice about Kimber: They make guns that are nice-looking pieces of shit.

When I specifically asked for a 2.5 Smith and Wesson 686 Plus this past February, the salesman said, How about this Kimber K6? I didnt appreciate slow moving merchandise pushed on me, and never even gave it a glance.
