[edit] This needs a picture.

If you add an article for a very specific gun of interest mostly to collectors, a nice big licensable color picture is a big help.

[edit] Safety

By the way, does this thing have a magazine safety, so that you can't fire it with the magazine removed? And can you unload it with the safety on? Those are the classic M1911 problems. --John Nagle 01:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Since the Kimber Eclipse is a type of M1911, the safety lever prevents the slide from moving, so a round can not be removed from the chamber when the safety lever is engaged. Also, the gun does have the capability of firing when the magazine is removed. However, those are features, not problems. -- Mudwater 13:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving "Kimber Eclipse Target II" to "Kimber Eclipse".

I am renaming this article, from "Kimber Eclipse Target II" to "Kimber Eclipse". Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Firearms#Variants, "Variants of a model of a firearm such as folding/telescoping stock variants, target versions, variants chambered in a new caliber, compact/carbine variants generally should not receive their own article. Instead, use a section for the variant in the parent firearm's article or consolidate it into a table or the text." The Kimber Eclipse Target II is a variant of the Kimber Eclipse, and therefore should be part of a more inclusive "Kimber Eclipse" article which will be created by the rename. — Mudwater 03:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
