Very nice work. Makes me want a Kimber! The Raptor is beautiful.

Just a couple of softboxes...left and right. Kimber is a pretty high-end gun. They don't advertise much outside of gun magazines and shows.

NIce safe queens! Gorgeous gals indeed but make sure to take 'em out and do what those queens were made to do too on occasion! They were made to rock and roll!!!

My original issue Kimber Ultra CDP has been carried a lot through the ten-eleven years I've owned it, and shot a lot too! VERY reliable and accurate. Very nice looking little .45ACP too (duo-tone, ambi, night sights, hand checkered front strap, RADICAL melt-down package, nice checkered/diamond rosewood stocks, etc.), though no-longer "new."

Thanks for posting. Nice lighting too!

I shoot my Ultra Carry II all the time. Couple thousand rounds through her I would guess. The Raptor gets a few through it every now and then but I wanna keep it nice. I just bought the Super Carry. It is my new carry pistol. I will shoot the barrel out of it the first chance I get. No safe queens for me. :)

Nice guns! Really like how the colors turned out on your shots too. Kimber could use these as product shots.

Nice collection! I only have one Kimber at the moment - a 3" Ultra CDP II. No safe queen for me either. That thing lives on my right hip! I posted a pic of it in the 1911 thread. I still need to go back and reshoot it. How did you set up your lighting for those shots?

Can I take your picture? "I'll swallow your soul!" Well, my camera will at least.

Nice lighting... especially on the Super Carry! Those grips and slide look tough to light properly. The Ultra Carry is on my list to own some day...

nice collection and great pics... i know it is a small detail but propping them up without using something stuck through the trigger guard makes all the difference in the world...
