Gun buffs in here ???

[Rolling_Thunder]

Alright guys - I got an opportunity to purchase a Kimber TLE II in Stainless...       My buddy owes me a favor (he works at an FFL) and he said he has a TLE that he can sell to me for $300. It is brand new, never opened case. 

So - I know LAPD Swat carries the TLE - but does anyone have any experience with Kimber handguns ?  if so would it be worth the $300

Are you kidding me? I'd be all over that!

It is brand new, never opened case.

I too was trained Sigs, the 226 and 229 to be precise. I wouldn't mind a good kimber though!

I'll give you $350 and pay for shipping from one FFL to another FFL. 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Well I was just making sure it is a well crafted gun i guess...   the $300 is a good deal for a brand new gun i guess 

[DukesofHoward]

At that price I'd be cautious - your "friend" may have lifted it from inventory.

[sick dawg]

Good deal if your friend is for real on his price.

Nah - What he is doing is working off the balance of the price for his owner. Plus I think Army Rangers are a little more honorable than that.

[hutch]

Thats a good price.  I would go for it.

[hemihead]

Kimber ? Sweeetttt 

[bull]

That really sounds like a good deal. I have no experience with that brand but that's close to what I paid for my .40 cal Ruger P94 about 10 years ago. I may have paid a little less but it was real close to $300.

[HITMAN 149]

we carry glocks. but i've heard that kimber's are great firearms!!! $300 for a kimber .45 is an awesome price.. especially for a stainless!!!
nice.... a stainless .45 just like what hitman (agent 47) uses!! 

[charger_mike75]

i'd buy it   

[moparguy01]

[BLAM]

Don't walk, run to that deal!
