I like your Bessey. My 0-150mm Digital Caliper from HF has been with me since 2007 and sits on my desk.

Don't forget the little plunger thingie in the slide, after you dumpster the two little levers.

One of the things that I truly detest about the Kimber that I had was that you had to drift out the rear sight from the slide in order to remove that plunger. Fortunately... I was installing fiber optic sights, anyway... but it still irritated me. In fact... the main reason that I changed from the black-on-black stock Kimber sights to the hi-viz fiber optic sights was that the rear sight had to be removed from the slide in order to shit-can the plunger that blocks the firing pin...
