no its aluminum. I was using it for a reference piece.
Kimber used to stand for a good name. They used to have all hand fit parts like some of the big name guys. They switched all of there production except for a few out of there custom shop to MIM parts. There custom service dept went to shit. Realistically I suppose since i only need the slide/frame/barrel/and a few other components it would turn into a custom build anywho. i would end up spending about $600 less dollars than the alternative route but would have to get that logo shaved off! haha..

but the frame/slide quality wouldnt be to par with say colt or springfield. AND you would have that nasty swartch (sp?) safety to deal with!
Kimber series 1 pistols are a whole different story, they are more expensive and much older than the new kimbers lol.
Should be emailing my ffl info to Caspian today! Yeehaw!
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
sounds good.
The safety is really the only major issue. You can adjust slide/frame fit on any gun!
Anywho...
I am waiting to hear back from caspian one last time and then its on like donkey kong!
