Hi guys,

 

I will soon be in the Market for a Kimber Warrior style pistol, and was wondering if you could answer a few questions

 

-I've heard good and bad things about the ARMY Kimber warrior, including slight rattle on the slide. Can this be sorted with a stronger recoil spring?

 

-Would I be better off buying a TM MEU, and an ARMY Kimber, and then swapping all the parts across into the ARMY frame?

 

- I've also seen the WE/ SOCOM GEAR Wilson Combat, how are these? I've read a review on Militaryphotos, but it wasnt all that great (Seemed like a strange place to find a review)

 

Im quite the noob when it comes to gas pistols, so I've been trying to read up as much as I can before I make the jump

 

Thanks guys

 

 

Army Kimber already features a stronger recoil spring, rattle isnt that bad though.

 

Kimber + meu... well, depends on your budget, buy the kimber first, and if you like how it performs, I dont think you will need a meu for parts, but if you want to improve the kimber after testing it, getting TM parts would be a good idea. Me myself am waiting for KJW to ship some spares so I can put them in the kimber slide to fit it in a KJW 1911 CO2, love both pistols so much I want them to make something unique and personal :)

I am attempting to replicate the GI .45 bare bones model. Aside from the grips I think its a match. I need to locate a extended slide release however, which is proving a bit...difficult.

I know it's not exactly a Kimber, but where do the KWA Mark 2 models fit in? I'm just looking for a reliable railed desert 1911; it doesn't have to be a perfect replica of anything.

 

 

Ed hardy makes this thread great :)

MODDAN: I got lucky and managed to buy three 610R's in total all with Safariland holsters. I kept one and sold the other two earlier this year. I found mine on gunbroker.com, lightfighter forum and specwargear.com sale board. They do pop up time to time on ebay but they usually go +$500USD
