Kimber Bob Tail

[CJJohn]

I picked up my Kimber Pro CDP II today from the 'Smith. I had an Ed Brown bobtail done to it, and I really like how it turned out. I had it done by Burge at Ole Boy Outdoors here in Bakersfield. I can't wait to put it back in service as my EDC. He did an excellent job of milling, and refinishing the frame as well as the grips. I struggled with this decision for a while but I'm happy I had it done. I tried it in my holster this evening for about an hour...SO much better, and it doesn't print nearly as bad.

That looks like a really nice job! Great looking pistol!

Any detail pictures of the actual Bob by chance?

That came out sweet! I've been thinking of doing this to my Kimber raptor. Looks great man! 

berge does good stuff. that looks great. ive had him work on a few of my guns. thankfully living in a free state i get to own the factory kimber version of that gun. the super carry pro.

Rogue, here a couple of shots of the grip, sorry for the crappy Iphone pics.





Dan, I wish that was PRK "approved". I am really liking this. And Berge did a great job, I'm really pleased. It was there for a few weeks, but it's like I told him...I can wait for it to be done RIGHT, and he came through.

berge does things on his own sweet time. ive never had a problem with that because of the results. a true craftsman works best relaxed. good stuff.

That is awesome. You did a good thing to your Kimber.

ill be the first a hole to ask- how much? it was worth it but if you dont mind.....

THats awesome work. Im local to you also and I can say ole boys has the nicest employees in town. Great place

[CJJohn]

Dan...about 260. That was for the Ed Brown mainspring housing, labor, and the Duracoat. Was it worth it??? For me.. yes. I agree about Ole Boy's employees, I have always been treated like a CUSTOMER there, that's not always the case in some shops, and it comes to mind when I spend money.

thanks for the reply. i would have no problem whatsoever paying $260 for that. it adds a final touch to an already damn fine gun. congrats.

this is my thoughts exactly. I left everything else as it came from Kimber.

That is a great purchase for 260. Seems kind of like bumping up to a super carry at a nice discount, and you can call it your own

[Rogue2215]

Dam! I would do it for $260.

Great thanks a lot there CJJohn! Something else I don't have time or money for
