+1 Ive NEVER had a problem with Wilson Combat mags. I have other mags that are useful for range time or blasting but wouldn't use any but the WCs for carry or in competition.

Fantastic first!

Congrats. That is a sweet one. Now, get to the range and enjoy.

Congratz. Nice looking gun.

No it doesn't tear your hand up. You get a very secure grip and it isn't going to slip unless you release grip. I also installed a Kimber Arched Main Spring Housing with extended mag well. Haven't had it out since I installed it yet, feels good. I have the same one on my Kimber Crimson Pro Carry and it feels great!

I use a kimber TacMag (8 rounder) for my primary mag in carry weapon, but it way about 29 bucks. I found that my kimber like the metalform 8 round mags with flat follower, and the dimple on it (original colt desing) and they were just over 12 bucks at CDNN. Works wonderful and I avoid the 30.00 price of other mags.

A tip on mags. Use the Hornady One Shot gun cleaner & dry lube on the mags. It makes the mags slide out very smoothly.

lucky guy, my first handgun was built for firing rocks at wooly mammoths

Was it a pre-lock model?

yes, a real collectors item but I sold it to a guy named Cain, who said it was for his brother Able. Dang, it was a Fred and Barney Special too!!
