A true romantic at heart...to be always true to the one you love.

Back in the 60's and 70's if ya wanted a 11 hotrod ya had a smith like Al Capone of Kings Gun Works build ya one...they used a pre 70's series Colt as their favored platform t start from... They were not cheap then either..problem with them was that you resale value was low... That is not true anymore for the established builders.. Mostly this things are placed upon a pedestle and worshiped as safe queens..

Looking at Wilson, Brown, Baer and Nighthawk there is not much to commend one over the other. They are all of high quality..craftsmanship and materials.. It maybe the nuance of the bells and whistles that commend one over the other to the indivdual..none will disappoint.. Baer is the least pricey of the lot..

I will say they are smoooth shooters..

Kimber to me is still a high quality 22 rifle maker who exceeded his limits when he started build hp rifles and then went BK.. The resurrection is what you see today..may they live long and prosper..
