Some of the first guns shipped with the "WAVE". A LWT Kimber Pro Carry and a stainless Kimber 40 rechambered in 10mm both with Brown beavertails, Heinie sights and BCP ignition systems.

Dane, Looks great as usual. It's the sutle things that give these shooters real character.

 

[Sam]

That's real cool looking! Dane, how do they feel with this wave? More photo's please. Sam

Those darn things DO get better looking the more you see them!

What are the chances that these will void Wilson Combat's service policy? Have you dealt with that issue at all?

My WC will probably be needing a refinish in the next year or so and before that it will get some type of frontstrap treatment.

The WAVE is so sharp looking, can't wait to wring it out!

 

[Burrahobbit]

Damnit Dane, I don't know if its the lighting or what but I always love the colour of your pistols! Nice and grey!

Dane, are there bumps machined into the frame as well as the wavey lines? It appears that way from the photos.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Paten]

What bumps?

 

[StormMaster]

I think abnranger is referring to the fact that it almost looks like these pistols now have "finger grooves" as a result of the WAVE modification. I'm certain that this is only a visual illusion, but I can see where one might draw that conclusion -- especially from the last photo.

Maybe this will help :grin: !0mm Kimber and a better grade BCP, Series 70 Colt

 

[GTO]

Dane, will a compact Kimber have 3 ripples or 4? Got a pic? Well hey, since where bitching! Thanks, GTO

GTO,

The full size frames have 7 arcs totaling 3 and 1/2 S's. The compacts have one less arc making for a total of 3 S's. 7 vertical rows of waves for each frame.

The MSH has almost 6 arcs making for 3 S's, with 4 vertical rows of Waves. This is for the full size MSH, the compact will be a bit less. The start of the waves on the MSH start under the grip safety, so part of the first arc isn't cut. This is done so the arcs can finish close to the bottom of the MSH. The pattern and size of the waves is the same for the MSH and frame. Hope this helps clarify.

Thanks ol' buddy! :smile:

Beautiful, as always.

abnranger,

There are not really bumps on the frontstrap. It is an illusion caused by the wave. I asked the same question when the first pics of the wave were posted because it looked lik teh frint surface was wavy along with the milled wave pattern. If you do a search you will fnd a pic that shows the front strap taken from the mag well up to the triggerguard. It is indeed still flat. I believe this picture is on Dane's webpage too.
