Got my TRP out today... What an excellent firearm. And accurate as all hell. Shot a couple of short videos with my I-Kam glasses.

Soon, ill have a 20+ steel targets to set out and practice for those steel plate matches!

Well, went to the range again, and did the CCW qualification just to see how ill do with my TRP (yes, its going on the list, I get three of them to choose from!).

36 rounds, 12 from 15 yards, 12 from 7 and 12 from 3 on the hip. Not bad I think!

That's a pretty good group for a .45 brother. Keep it up!

It is certainly mostly the gun.. super crisp trigger helps a ton as well.

I have to say though, the pistol is so much fun to shoot, it just begs for me to take it out and practice with it!

Luke builds them one at a time. As functional as they are beautiful. Set up like this the cost will be under $4k which I consider a good deal. This is the signature series.
Damn, now you've got me thinking........
You are correct, Luke builds a super fine 1911, I am having him build one for me

Just remember if you buy a gun like a kimber you will never feel like you should have spent a little extra. They all fire beautifully and will not let you down. The only question is, how flashy do you want it to look. Kimber makes a wide selection for all tastes.
