Couldn't take the heat... Had to buy the Kimber... $1184 out the door.

The action doesn't matter. Got a Beretta M9 and a Browning Hi-Power and love them both. I love the look of the Kimber but was concerned about the toughness. I guess I should stop worrying and go with a pistol that's at least still being manufactured. The Kimber will be brand new. Just about any 1006 I buy will be used with an unknown history.

I mentioned in an earlier post that for 10mm the 1006 was the only gun for me...

But after visiting my favorite shop today. I held a Kimber Eclipse and I was very impressed...

What do you recommend? Should I but a used 1006? Or a brand new Kimber?

I hear the S7W is pretty strong and it can handle anything put through it. Is the Kimber that reliable, too?

That's my point. The laws do not take effect until 4/25/13... I've had to explain that to eBay sellers in my mad dash to hoard magazines for my M9 and Browning Hi-Power...

I'll keep my fingers crossed... I'm beginning to see the 1006 with fixed sights in my sleep! My 9mm are getting jealous. 

I've tried to do my homework on the 10x6 series and I want the 1006 because I want full size and I don't like DAO pistols.

I saw that listing yesterday. I was gonna jump on it, but I don't like target sights.

I understand what you're saying about buying the magazines now. If fact I already have one.  I suppose I don't NEED one now, but that's what I'm telling myself so I can buy one quick without remorse. Ha ha

Hello all,

My name is Rick, I live in NY and want a 1006 bad. I need to get it before the 7RD magazine law goes into effect on April 15th.

Where are the best places to find them? Gunbroker? Armslist? Any help would be greatly appreciated. congerz83@gmail.com I want to be a full fledged member of this group. My first step is to actually find a 10mm.

Thanks
