Appreciate the comments ! This is one of my favorite 1911s and one of my favorite Kimbers in particular.
JPA, that's actually NOT KimPro. It's just their regular matte black finish ! The pictures don't do it justice though. It looks much better in person...
Total work done was ...
Checker Front Strap @ 30 LPI
Checker under trigger guard
Refinish slide
Refinish frame
Install new Meprolight night sights
Replace ALL springs and inspect/replace misc parts as necessary
Adjust/tune up gun as necessary
I just came back from the range and it's SWEET
Not counting overnight return shipping it was a little under 400 for all the work including the new night sights.
I was just going to send it in for a refinish and tune up but it made sense to get the front strap checkered as well as the trigger guard since Kimber charges a reasonable price for the checkering and they do an excellent job of it.
Dennis is great to deal with and I think he enjoyed breathing new life into this old shooter. He said it looked pretty cool when they got done with it...
