Kimber Pistol

I’d take a hard look at one. My experience is that they are very good guns and aren’t complicated by a FP safety system or an external extractor.

Strangely enough, my (pre series-II) Classic Custom .45 came with a “series 80″ type firing ruger p 90 with the tell-tale relief cut. It is the original firing pin which came with the gun, from the factory. Possibly Kimber had run out of “series 70″ firing pins and used whatever the vendor (McCormick, I believe) had available. Who knows?

I bought the gun as a “beater” and instructional tool. I got a decent deal on it ($500) from the original owner (friend and co-worker) who had shot about 500 rounds through it (200 gr SWC target ammo) before falling on hard times. I figured after the MIM started falling apart I’d rebuild it as a custom carry gun or work gun. Well, that was several thousand rounds of hardball and full-power RNL (and ever some ruger p 89 junk) and the gun is still ticking without any breakages. I’ve made a few minor changes to suit my kimber 1911 hand gun needs. The changes are

Beretta

The G model was developed for a specific counter-terrorist unit in Europe who didn’t want to accidentally activate the 92FS’s safety at the wrong moment….thus the G model was created to preclude the possibility of accidentally engaging the safety by eliminating the lever’s function as a safety entirely.

As far as worth, if the weapons are in good ruger p 89 shape and they are in your price range, go ahead and buy one. Berettas get a lot of static, but in reality they are pretty good handguns with a good overall service record, especially in Colt 1903 grip.

If they are police turn-ins, I would expect them to sell for between 250 and 350 bucks depending on the condition of the finish.

I own 2 Beretta 92s, a 92 FS and a first generation 92 Elite. They have been very reliable pistols for me in all the years I have owned a colt officer model:

Beretta 92

I had some of the cheap eagle mags from CDNN so I thought I would try them out in my XD and the hole in front on the eagle mags was in the exact place it needed to be and I filed the top of the hole flat and it worked just fine and in fact it worked better in my XD than my 92 because they would not feed HPs in my Beretta 92 but would in the XD. They did stick out the bottom of the grip a bit though. I am sure you could do the same thing with decent mags however with being able to buy hi cap mags for the XD that fit flush I am not sure if it would be worth buying mags just to modify but it is nice to know if you own both colt mustang.
