Hello and welcome to the site..

not sure of your Raptor , but am sure of MINE.

I purchased a Grand Raptor II , about 5 years ago..

one of the finest firearms in my collection,
great lines, great looks, great feel, and it goes bang after bang after bang.

can not say enuff good of MY Raptor..

but , and here is the catch.. it seems the Kimber line is not consistant from one firearm to the next ..

YMMV to the max..

seems as though if you got a good one , you got a great one, and if you got a lemon, there is no lemonaid , just lemon..

sorta like dating the hot chick at the local bar, either good or bad, no 1/2 way ..

good luck with your Raptor..

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.

Jose,, I agree,,, even if the gun is free ,,, if it does not operate , it is overpriced..

the Raptor is a near custom made firearm ( near , but not there ) and regardless ,,, it has to go bang, each and every time ..

good luck with getting yours to operate, keep us posted on the status.
