A quick question for Tim. In your first picture I noticed that the sidewinder on the cover of the magazine has an internal extractor while the other one had an external one. Given the horror stories making the rounds regarding Kimbers extractor issues of late how are the ones with the external extractor working for your, or is it a non-issue?
They suck. I loath them. At least the Kimber's. The solution for a problem that never existed.
The big reason for the SideWinder in the above picture having one is because it belongs to my wife. Like many of the LTW family, as a married male, I know that I have no opinion when faced with such wisdom from the bride as, "I want
that one." She fell in love with the serial number on said Kimber, since her SideWinder is number 004. When I tried to disuade her from that particular Kimber (because of the external extractor), she gave me the only logical answer needed. "I want
that one."
Note to any non-married members: The above is a true story. Trust me on that. Ask any married member, and they'll back me up.
The Caspian's are quite a bit better, but given my druthers, I'm still old fashioned enough to like internal extractors.
