I once had two cdp kimbers and foolishly parted with both in weak moments. Ive allways preached that they were about the ulitmate ccw 1911s at any price. the first one a 4 inch officers grip frame gun came back last year as a gift from the buddy I tradded it to. He knew how bad I wanted that one and was so kind as to return it as a gift. The second one a 3 inch officers gun was traded to another friend for a 9mm colt 1911 that is also sadly down the road. I allways told him if he ever wanted to get rid of it to call me. Well yesterday morning i got a call to come buy it if i wanted it. I reluctantly brought the check book and was prepared for the worse. I got there and asked what he wanted and he floored me and said 400 bucks. I told him it was worth twice that and he said he owed me some favors and that was all hed take. It was still like new. I doubt he ever even shot it. Both these guns were exceptional shooters but that little 3 in gun was unbelieable. It would shoot right along side my colt gold cup and my kimber gold match. It shot many 5 shot one inch groups. As a matter of fact for giggles shot a ppc match with it one day and took first place. Im sure happy these two are back where they belong!!
