Jul 14, 2016 · If you are in the market for a suppressor-ready handgun and are a fan of the 1911, the TFS Warrior and Kimber Desert Warrior pistols are both strong contenders inspired by one of the most storied military handguns in recent history.

Apr 23, 2023 · I would like to get your thoughts on the Desert Warrior. My experience with this particular weapon was in an austere environment where I was lucky enough to be chosen to field test it (program was modified and since fulfilled).

The 1911 was an incredible invention. If you study the era in which it was born and the effect it had on history, you’ll find out it was an important part of the evolution of firearms. When John Moses Browning (a.k.a. The Revered One) came out with the 1911 people were still running around on horses and trains. The West had mostly been won with rev...
1911’s have always been popular with at least some folks but you can actually see daylight through some of the older models because of the loose tolerances. Kimber looked at the 1911 market and saw people were taking base model pistols and upgrading them with performance-enhancing parts: barrels, sights, triggers, etc. They considered the market de...
Compared to the polymer pistols of today, 1911s are boat anchor heavy. My Gen 5 Glock 17 is 1 pound, 9.2 ounces empty. The Kimber Warrior tips the same scales at 3 pounds, 9.6 ounces. It’s all steel and would make a fine club if you ran out of ammo. I never noticed this when I wore a duty-belt but when I switched to a suit and tie, the 1911 threate...
In the performance department, the gun is all business. Perhaps foreshadowed by the elegant looks, the Warrior is highly accurate. In a recent range session, I plinked away from 15 feet to see what kind of groups I could make with each 8-round magazine. The groups were small with several of the rounds going through the same hole. Even stretching ou...
There are a number of the things that are different about the Warrior (compared to a Glock). First off, the ergonomics, in my mind, are better on the Kimber. The width of the gun is thinner, from slide to grip. I feel like the gun has a little better natural point of aim, just pulling it out of a holster and pointing it has me lining up on target w...
Accuracy 5/5 Without a doubt, this is one of the most accurate pistols I have fired. The five-inch barrel combined with the match-grade, skeletonized, trigger make this gun a powder-fueled laser. Reliability 3/5 I wish this were better. The gun functions amazingly well under a pretty strict diet of the right magazines, ammo, and maintenance. Field-...
If you’re not familiar with 1911 field stripping…be sure to watch this video so you don’t mess stuff up!
Okay let’s face it: the 1911 was an amazing advancement for those coming out of an age of wheel guns. The replaceable magazine rapidly changed the game when it came to combat with a pistol. No longer did one have to hide behind a water trough hoping they could load each cylinder before Black Bart got the drop on them again. That being said, the 191...
