my brother has been looking for a while, and was having his local dealer order one from kimber. he called the dealer right away yesterday and had them cancel that order. i will probably go up and pick it up tommorrow after work. as far as shooting it, who knows when or if i will get a chance to do that. it might not be a smart thing for me to do anyway, as i might fall in love and have a hard time letting it go. at this point i think i will just strip it down and clean the hell out of it, polish it up as best as i can and just get it to my brother as fast as i can. after it is firmly in his possesion i will shoot it. lol.
