Looks like one of the first Classic Model Customs to get the Yonkers mark. Missed a Clack by that much...
No big deal, still the same gun and looks to be in excellent condition. Actually, the Classic Model Custom with the Yonkers mark is more rare than one with the Clackamas....

Are they still Kimbers? You saw the part about this being a picture thread?

Here is my first attempt posting a pic. Just picked it up two weeks ago, my first Kimber.

Not sure why the camera flash makes the frame appear purple?

My Stainless with an EB maxiwell msh and some vz grips

[fishpicker]

SST Gold Match that through neglect was left in a holster and suffered some pitting in a couple areas.
Decided to dress it up like a covert and I like it.
Still considering what grips to get.
Great shooting gun!

Kimber Ultra-Carry, pretty sweet little gat! Very compact .45! Check out the business end!

This is my everyday carry pistol, Kimber Pro Carry if I remember right it was built in 1991.
I'm the third owner, luckily I know both the prior owners.

As you can see its been refinished in Black T, and all the "bling" parts are Ed Brown. Its also had a spring job done using a Wilson Combat Spring Kit. It also broke the extractor last year and was replaced with a new one from Kimber. And finally VZ Operator II grips.





I will try to post some pictures of my stock Ultra CDP in the next couple of days.

Kimber didn't build any pistols that early. Here's some info.

I was getting all kinds of excited, thought I was gonna get to be a first - up to the second to last page.
Just bought a supposedly unfired aluminum carry - won't be unfired for long.
pics to follow.

You're right! May of 2000. Wonder what I have that was 1991, not the kids, not the wife...... hopefully it will come to me.

Thanks again!

It was my date of hire, to many numbers to remember.
