Pat, thanks for your opinion.
I bought the Raptor not only for its looks, cause sure it is damn good looking, but the sad thing about is that Kimber was always known to be a maker of great guns not lemons.... and to get a lemon from that kind of manufacture for the price you paid for is not acceptable. The quote "you get what you paid for" in this kind of name brand of guns is out of question as you expect to get a very reliable weapon that you can trust your life when needed for the kind of money they cost. I'll keep up the thread whenever I take it to the range for a test drive!!!! Thanks again.
