guys I know this is off topic but I need your advice. somebody wants to offer me $1200 for my kimber 1199 custom 2 .45 acp. I bought this for $1500 and this is my first gun ever. though it sits in my drawer and use it probably once a year, it keeps m mind safe just in case something happens. any opinions thanks hahahah

Is it a plain custom ii ? I think you might have some models mixed up. The plain custom ii is like an entry level kimber if I recall correctly. It only goes for like 700 or something. So 1200 would be a great deal.
Kimber makes decent handguns but not really in the collectible range so I doubt it will go up in value.

sell it. sitting in your safe year round is useless and unless you're going to use it properly, it's no good to you.

That's probably the one piece of advice I wouldn't heed. Generally almost everyone will consider a kimber 1911 > sig 1911.
Now if you are recommending a different sig - then you have other issues. Most of the better sigs ( elite 226/220 etc ) are not legal in California.
Kimber and sig are two different markets. Sig makes an excellent production gun. Kimber makes a close to the top of the line semi custom 1911. You can customize the grip, sights, magwell, barrel, safeties etc on the gun you want. Not so much with Sig. There are a few semi-custom makers even greater than kimber (Wilson, ed brown, nighthawk) and a bunch of pure custom guys but that's another discussion.
Anyhow between kimber and sig - better to have both but I definitely wouldn't choose sig over the kimber. But if you are using it once a year and don't need/want it for personal protection I would get funds for it.

I have no idea how this is related to Panigales, but at the very least this should have been in the lounge.

Keep everything. Don't sell!!! 1) Its you first gun. 2) With all these executive orders floating around intending to destroy the Constitution, and a tyrant behind the throne I dont plan on selling anything, as a matter of fact I have been buying ALOT more. 3) If you sell it and something happens you will wish you had it.
