I'm a black-guns only kinda guy (Glock, HK USP Compact ...) ... but I had a moment of weakness just yesterday and bought a Kimber Custom Eclipse II .45. It was just too damn pretty to ignore.

If California didn't have this 10 day waiting period I'd be posting pics right now. Until then you'll just have to settle for stock photos.

Mine is like this one except I have combat sights instead of the adjustable.

Any other Kimber owners out there to grunt approvingly?

Believe it or not I own a lot of guns but not a single 1911 - until now. That's because I shot my buddy's Jardine full house custom .45 - and it's hard to settle for anything less in a 1911. The Kimber ain't in the same class (the Jardine was $3Kish) but it'll do for me.
His is similar to the one depicted below except his roll markings are of a Colt Series 80.
