...maybe...
Have been shooting and carrying 1911s since the mid 1970s. Mostly .38 Super, .45 and 9mm... Ended up with a couple of boxes of .400 CorBon and bought a barrel for the .45 but that was about it...then the 10mm Bug bit about 5 years ago...so calibers like .40 S&W and .357 SIG got dragged in.
Found out after purchasing a Kimber Stainless Target II in 10mm that was just like a .38 Super I had that the breachface cuts were the same...so all I needed were extra barrels. Sold the 10mm to a friend and added 10mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG to the Super. Then came a .357 SIG Nightmare carry to which 10mm and .38 Super barrels were added and a few lightweight Kimber Night Patrols in 9mm to which .38 Super barrels were added...
One gun I have admired for a while is the Kimber Camp Guard 10mm...two tone stainless/black, round butt, night sights, laser embossed grips and no firing pin safety... Bought it new on GunBroker Thursday, they shipped it Friday and got to my dealer Monday, yesterday...
Gun was in a plastic bag and with the amount of preservative oil on it could have never rusted...after cleaning and lubing the whole gun it is just about as perfect an outdoorsmans 1911 as one could want. Trigger is a little heavy and if it is a distraction from being "shootable", will be reduced to the 4# area...
With a bunch of projects going on this week and a trip out of state over the weekend it will probably be a week or so before it gets fired... What I am hoping for is that the barrels that have been fitted to the Stainless Target II will run in this gun. One of those barrels is a .40 S&W for cheap practice without losing all that expensive 10mm brass...
As to being "the last" 1911 I get...only other one I think about is the Kimber Stainless Target Longslide .45 as I have one in 10mm and it is quite the shooter...
Right now the count is 24...25 is a "rounder" number....
