Kimber Custom II (Sights/Trigger) Question

[MSY89]

The TLE II is a really solid choice. If the store I purchased my Kimber from had that model available at the time there is a very good chance I would have ended with up with a TLE. The only difference between the TLE II and the Custom II, I believe is the TLE's front hand strap checkering and the Meprolight night sights that come stock.

Personally I couldn't care less about the front of my grip being checkered or not, if I want an unbeatable grip I'd just slap a Hoag wrap-around on it.

As for the night sights...I personally feel they make the gun feel MUCH more accurate, especially on a standard indoor range where the lighting is somewhat dim and the targets you're shooting at are most likely black or other dark colors.

After just purchasing my Custom II, I can tell you that I will DEFINITELY be adding some type of aftermarket sites. It's pretty much between Meprolight night sights or target sights with fiber optics in the front/rear(Kimbers target sights only have the dot on the front sight i believe, correct me if I am wrong.)

Good luck man, and no matter what you decide to get you can always add or take off accessories, that's the beauty of 1911's!

Edit: Asked a question you guys already answered. Whoops...

Thanks for your replies everybody, appreciate all the help.

Aldemar, when I finally get my Kimber out of the shop we should shoot sometime, I think we're somewhat local.

Definitely hit up Jim for your work. He did the sights on my custom II. I got a deal on a set of meprolights and he installed them for $40 in less than a day. I have been trying to get over there to have him finish off some trigger work. If you guys hit up Northridge Firing Line, let me know.

Sorry about that. I had a good amount of PMs that I tried to respond to. I ended up withdrawing the sale and keeping it for now.
