Mine will be a Kimber TLE/RL in 10mm to go with my 10yr old Kimber Eclipse 10.

Do you have it yet? Let us know what you think of the fit and feel, then maybe a range review. I'm still torn on buying one of these too.
Picking it up Thursday. My FFL guy back then.

I like my tle I don't have the rl, I couldn't stand the polymer msh so I replaced it with a fusion msh with a magwell

Should be ordering my RIA Tac II tonight.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Hope you like it. I like mine. I have 1911 model. Are you getting 1911 or 2011 model?

Yup that's the one. Mine has small logo. If you get billboard one, it prob. Has light recoil spring.

Billboard does not bother me if it shoots straight. As to the spring, what is considered a good poundage spring to get?

Per Steve (harleyhopper):

But on my Rock 10, a 20# recoil, 22# main spring and flag bottom firing pin stop have given me the best results. The brass piles up neatly and consistently about 15' away.
I do have a 22# Wolff recoil and 25# main springs to try but why change a good thing.
Wish I could post this iphone pic. Steve

My newer one came with a 20lb recoil, not sure on mainspring

Picked up my new 10mm this evening:

Shot approx. 150 rounds:
50 Federal
15 Underwood 180 JHP
3 Hornady Critical Defense
rest reloads of 6gr titegroup with 180gr Rainer TC

All I can say is Yahoo !!
gun worked perfectly. I have 2 nit picky issues. Mags stick. All 3 factory mags don't slide out and done release very easily wither. And this is my 1st pistol with all black sights, pretty sure I am going to upgrade to Henning sight pair for match. Anyone recommend that.

My Witness did the same thing with all four of my Mags
I had to give the Mag Catch a little lovin' for them to drop free
So tell me again how Trump was worse then the 8 years before .... AND what came after HIM !

Since I am not that experienced, what did you do. How did you file them specifically.

I like the all black rear with a fiber front. Get the Dawson front! They changed the design to bolt like factory.
