    Kimber Pro Covert. Finish is wearing off in and I need to have recoated. Thumb safety broke off so upgraded to Wilson, no problems since. Only use Wilson mags. Guns broke down and cleaned after every use.

    That being said it is my carry weapon. It shoots and shoots and shoots. 230's no problem. HP no problems. My reloads no problems.

    My first but not my last.

    Wife has Springfield 3". No issues with it.

    As I have stated before the weapon sits in my hand at the same angle as my Katana. Grips are the same. Something there is just magical how two weapons from different times have so much in common.

    If they are good enough for Jeff Cooper they are good enough for me.
