    I was looking at the TV last night and they shot The new Rapide.
    Said it came in 45acp and 10mm Sure looked like a great gun.
    Super Jägare is my dream gun. So will hold out for one

    Gold barrel and a holey slide... guess the Gucci glocks have a new friend, the Burberry Browning!!!

    I guess it looks cool. It will be overpriced, in kimbers usual fashion.

    I do not like the gold as well.
    Looks like the color is due to the TiN coated barrel. They state it is to quote them For extreme durability.
    My military surplus steel chrome lined battle had served me for 30 plus years fine.
    The cuts to lighten the slide does look cool but wonder if it really helps with faster lockup. I see Glocks get it done plenty.
    I know guys send stuff to Primary Machine to get that done

    I find it funny that the same guys who will bash a Serpa holster and ban it from ranges will pay money to have large holes cut into the slide of their handguns

    Also take a look at the Springfield TRP w/ 6 inch slide. Really surprised how well I like it.

    Personally, I will never own another Kimber. I have had way more problems/headaches with Kimbers than I have ever had with all other firearm manufactures COMBINED. I realize this is only my personal experience and there are plenty of people who love Kimber and have not had issues; but for me, I'll stay away from anything with that name on it.
