I just received my Warrior back from Drake's and I can't tell you how pleased I am! Drake was wonderful to work with and not to mention, did an outstanding job on everything that I asked to be done. Not only was hs work top notch, but the turn-around time as well as the prices and customer service is wonderful. If you are planning any work to be done on a 1911 or Melonite on a pistol, don't hestitate to give him a call.

Anyhow, here it is!

That is an "All Business" looking Warrior, one that I am sure will serve you well for quite some time. With that said and me not likeing the looks of a rail on a 1911 I will also say that is one that looks just right. Good luck with your Kimber, may it serve you well.

This is kind of embarrassing, but when I saw the recoil spring plug a little "hee hee" slipped out. That is just out of place enough to be pretty funny! The pistol looks great, nice job Drake!

Yeah, I had him do an extra bushing and plain spring plug since it's going to be one of my duty weapons. Just for fun though!
