I forgot to mention the other thing he told me about the model II Kimbers. Apparently the 3" bbl. versions (the Ultra II's) have
a spotty reputation for reliability...or to put it as he did, "they don't work, but Kimber won't tell you that." He did say that the 3"
model I's work fine. Since he deals guns for a living, and I trust and even admire is honesty regarding the products he sells, it
looks like I won't be getting that Eclipse Ultra II someday after all. I'm not paying $850+ for a gun that isn't completely reliable.

But the 4" version of the Eclipse...!
