As suggested, I went the the LGS and asked if they could expedite the process and GIVE ME MY GUN NOW! Maybe it was the fake limp or tears, but they said "We'll find it..." Ten minutes later I walked out (forgetting to limp) with my precious.

This is the first pic, as soon as I got in the car. The pic doesn't do it justice because in terms of being "stunning" as they say on the web site, it is...as advertised. I'd say drop dead gorgeous is more accurate.

The blue color is beautiful...more blue than it looks on the web site. The bone grips look exactly like the pic from Kimber, but the camera phone can't capture such a subtle color. I bought a Hoppe's cloth because the polished flats are quite shiny and show fingerprints. Tonight I'll strip and clean and oil it in preparation for the first range trip. :)

OMG! I pulled it out of the case to take a pic here in my office and it was even more beautiful than it was an hour ago! :eek:

It's hard to photograph because it is so shiny.

She is a beauty.

You will have to fight your son and possibly your wife to keep that one. When she sees it, she will understand.

Holy Polished Pistol, Batman!!!

Porsche, that is one seriously fine looking pistol!!!!:cool::cool: Love the bone grips, too. If that thing shoots as good as it looks, you are going to empty the magazine into a single hole grouping that is .22 caliber in diameter!!

I drool in your general direction!!!!:D:D:D I'm proud to say I know you!! Hoping some of the cool rubs off!!!

BAD TO THE BONE!!!!!
That is an awesome looking Kimber and I'm a bit jealous...

Mr. Johnson steered and I worked the pedals. :D

I've said that my stainless Pro Carry II looked a bit different than expected when I first saw it due to the stainless slide and aluminum frame being different colors, and that caused it to not look as good as the pic on the web site. But I have to say that this Royal II looks a lot better than the pic on the web site. In fact, I'm sort of surprised how much of the look is not captured in the web site pic. Frankly, it looks like it should cost $3,500.00 and looks every bit as good as the Nighthawks they have at the LGS.

Kimber knows how to build a quality gun at a reasonable price they just don't know how to finish them, they send the special ones out to Turnbull Mfg. for that.

This is too good for the joke thread.

PorscheVilles wife thinks he's financially naive and gullible especially after he bought that Kimber Royal II. I bet she changes her tune when she finds out he won the Nigerian lottery.

Whoa. How the hell could you know I won the Nigerian lottery? All I have to do is give them access to my bank account so they can put money in! ;)
