Just cleaned up the pistols and the aluminum fram Kimber is showing wear on the frame rails and where the guide rod batters the frame. I also have some scarring from using a Colt mag. Needless to say, I'm not thrilled with these non-steel pistols. I've probably put 5,000 rounds through this one. Gonna upgrade my lube and leave this pistol in the safe more often.

Picked up a stainless Colt Commander XSE today. Taking to the smith to fit the tactical thumb safety tommorrow. I also put an arched MS housing and a beavertail grip safety. Should have a range report by next weekend.
