Shenanigans continue. Is Filipino steel strong enough to resist the very force of nature that laid Captain America low?
That's just cold.
My Kimber Pro CDP II.
Bought this back in 2012. Living in NJ at the time, I sent it to Kimber for a once over even before shooting it.
They found a cracked frame. While their warranty is only for the original owner, they made good and forged me a frame, and fitted my parts to it.
Essentially, a semi custom gun, and shipped it back with new sights too!
The Springfield Range Officer Champion, 9mm.
It's been flawless, just runs and runs!
4# trigger job and an am ambi safety added.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
Update: Filipino steel is stronger than ice.
Also, I know Rock Islands aren't "good" 1911s, but the three samples I've had have all be relatively reliable, accurate, and good to shoot. I largely attribute that to the active IPSC/USPSA culture in the Philippines, because while maybe the small parts aren't going to last 30,000 rounds, the guns tend to work.
I don't know, I've kind of got a soft spot for these RIA guns I get to test.
Generally I carry a Glock, but something about a Superbowl party just calls for carrying a chunk of steel.
