My First 1911

[Cuda440]

So I finally bought my first 1911, and I realized that I should have done this a long time ago. I finally understand all of the JMB worship. I bought a used Kimber Raptor II from a fellow Calgunner, and I got to pick it up on monday afternoon.
I took it straight to the range and played with it a bit. Overall it's sweet, the trigger feels great, and it's pretty accurate considering that I don't have too much handgun experience.
The first pic is my best group of the day at 10 yards, the following pics are after a complete detail strip, clean, and lube, and some VZ grips, an Ed Brown Chainlink MSH and magwell, and Chip McCormick mag

I am still debating what to get myself as a first firearm.

But what you have is definitely out of my league.
