Bought a used Kimber Raptor, stainless in 45. I have reservations on Kimber's warranty work so I bought a 3 year $16 protection plan on it. Paid $1071 shipped with the protection plan. I figured the tax on the one at Scheels, $1450+11% tax comes to about $1600 out the door. Don't think I did too bad. Looks like it was barely used. these are the pics that were posted in the auction.

Nice congrats. That will clean up real nice.

Couldn't have been used much. The trigger looks new and unmarred.

I'm on a gun buy hiatus because of the current crazy pricing but if I saw that laying around with that price I'd probably get it. The tritium sights and ambi-safety would push me over the edge. I hope it looks as pretty as the pics and there are no hidden defects they're trying to get rid of.

Congratulations, looking forward to the range reports.

That, my friend, is why I bought the protection package. Incudes parts and labor 😉. Don’t want stuck with a gun that ain’t working right. If the package isn’t worth a damn, well, I’ve spent more on dumber things.

Apparently, I also bought another Springfield Loaded 😁. After that Raptor, I was hoping to be outbid. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to suffer with both. Poor me… This one was $661 shipped. Beats the heck out of the $1217 I spent on the CA compliant one I took to the auction.

I ended up ordering a new MSP with magwell for the Raptor. Unfortunately, I bought the polished instead of the matte. Guess we see what it looks like when it gets here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Might have to roughy it up a bit. Chain it to my hitch and drag it down the drive a couple few times 😉

Whoever had it, looks like they already replaced the plastic MSH with a stainless one, just a plain checkered one.
