Speaking about the kobra carry...

Allen · 09-22-2005

Anthony,

have you played much with Kimbers? Just curious as to how your Kobra compares. I'm looking to change from my pro carry, but it's impossible to test guns down here before buying, so I'm looking for opinions...right now I'm undecided between the pro carry 2, and either of Ed Brown's carry models. Thanks.

Allen,

I'm waiting on a special order for a Kimber Pro Carry II end of this month. I've never fired the Kimber's but have the Les Baer's. The Ed Brown has a distinct solid feeling to it that is lacking in the Les Baer's. It feels more balanced when shooting. I'm too new a shooter to really know the difference in accuracy, as both shot 10 rings for me at 25 feet, and 3 inch groups at 50. From what the guys tell me, all .45's $1500.00 and above all shoot the same, but just have different options. IE. The browns have no Milled pieces to it, the Bobtail, etc which has it price higher than the other .45's. It's the little things, like when I push up on my safety, I feel the solidness of the piece, and feel a heavy and secure click.

I still haven't broken the Kobra carry in yet with 350 rounds, still have a slight creep in the trigger which stops me from using it for competition at this time. I live and breath competitions with my Springfield TRP Operator.

On another note, I vowed never to get another hand gun that wasn't a .45, but this bad boy caught my eye and I had to get it last night. It's a FN Herstal Five Seven Tactical Pistol, which fires the 5.7x28mm rifle round. It carries 20 rounds per clip, and the 5.7x28mm travels 2200 fps! I have to fire it on a rifle range, due to it going through the steel back ends of the pistol range. I'm told very low recoil, similliar to a .380. Can't wait to fire it.

Last night as I was buying the FN, the owner of the place was ribbing me with, "I thought you said the Ed Brown was the last gun you were buying" since I just got it Monday.

It's addictive, worse than drugs. I've been shooting 5 or so months, with the tally being 10 guns, orignally 11, I sold one to a friend, I'm at 2 guns bought a month.

I'm going to have to see someone about this.

He's in Florida, so I'm thinking he's going after the Cubans.

I have an addictive personality. I can't even think of how much we spent on Yeyo, this is just a drop in the bucket.

If Jon were here, it would be worse, we both know that!

That's a crazy visual I've got running through my mind, you + Nick + Guns

Anthony, have you yet managed to work "Say 'ello to my leedle friend" into a real life conversation yet ?

Just curious

I know I would have if I had an arsenal like that.

LOL, like Nick said, we did quite a few times, but it wasn't about guns!

You said that to NICK?!?!?!?

(I'm laughing at my own jokes now, just to be safe.)

Anthony · 09-25-2005

My collection:

From top row, left to right

Ed Brown Kobra Carry .45 / Springfield Armory TRP Operator .45 / Fabrique National FiveseveN 5.7x28mm

Springfield Armory XD90 3" .40 / GLOCK 30 .45 / HK USP .40

SW Airlite .38 / Beretta NEOS .22

Remington 870 12 gauge

Missing due to me dropping it and breaking the safety getting warranty work done:
Para Ordnance Night Hawg .45

Anthony · 09-22-2005

I'll take a pic of the arsenal later tonight after dinner.

Allen · 09-23-2005

Ant

thanks for the info, I'm at the point of getting both

btw, if you're a relatively new shooter as you say, go try a CZ 75. you'll be amazed at the performance for that price, most guys in the US never touch CZ's and don't know what they're missing. I carry .45's as well, but keep a CZ75D compact in the car.

Newton · 09-25-2005

Now that pic i'd hit

Knitting is a good safe gentle hobby.

Er, badminton's nice too.

There's nothing wrong with shooting, well not as long as I'm the one with the gun.

Sweet pic Ant.

Good burn, aye.

But then the fact you know so much about the game gives one pause.
