You all aren’t going to believe this. But it is so crazy that I just have to post it because I would hate to see anyone go through what I have been going through the last 3 days. My neighbor down the street has a beautiful 1911 Kimber gold match II 45 pistol. Well, he was showing it off to me several weeks ago while we were playing poker. Anyways it had a tiny little scratch on the SS slide and I told him I would be more than happy to buff it out for him. Several weeks go by and I see him again and he has the 45 upper slide wrap up in a small cloth with a string tying up. I told him I will take care of it and have it back to him tomorrow afternoon. Last Sunday I got up and changed the alky pump on the GN and then decided I would polish the 45 slide. It was missing! We, my wife and I tore the damn house apart, I found myself looking in places that I would never put part of a gun..
By now I am sick, upset and wonder about my mental faculties. I broke down and called the owner and asked if he really gave it to me and he said “I handed it to you and you placed it on the counter in the garage” I dumped the trash out on the floor and went through everything again. I even wrap up another towel and carried it as if it was the missing slide to see where I would of set it. Well I went in the house for a short while…made a stiff drink and came back out to the garage and noticed towel #2 was gone. “ That freakin DOG” I have a two year old Husky (my avatar picture)…might not have him long. Last night I was searching our 3 acres try to find where he buried it. SOB. Kimber said they will have to make a new slide after I send them the rest of the un devoured pistol…3 to 4 weeks,350 bucks, semi-pissed neighbor. Lesson learned.
The guy at Kimber said that was a first.
