You can win this Kimber Eclipse Target II

The striking Kimber Eclipse, with its two-tone stainless-steel finish, has been flying off dealer's shelves across the country. Originally introduced as a limited-run offering from the Kimber Custom Shop, the Eclipse was far too popular to let it fade away.

The Eclipse II is the production version. It's available in several models, from stubby carry-guns to a tight-shooting, 5-inch target version. In fact, the Eclipse II earned the prestigious Academy Of Excellence award as Handgun Of The Year for 2002. This award, presented at a special reception in Reno, NV, was determined by the votes of over 400 industry professionals. The Kimber Eclipse series beat out a number of other excellent pistols to win the award.

A quick look at the Eclipse reveals why. Not only is the two-tone, stainless-steel finish uncommonly attractive, the Eclipse is built right. The frames, slides and barrels start out as tough forgings, not castings. Careful machine work results in a smooth but precise fit of major components, with no accuracy robbing lost-motion.

The Eclipse II Target wears excellent adjustable sights. Tritium inserts are standard. The trigger breaks crisply, and the front strap checkering not only ensures a stable firing-grip, it's beautiful to behold.

Kimber pistols have turned the 1911 world on its ear, and the Eclipse Target II may just be the nicest Kimber yet. For more information on the complete Kimber line, call [800] 880-2418, or examine Kimber's comprehensive Website: www.kimberamerica.com.

But wait, there's more...
