They all have had issues, picking Kimber out is just a reflection on not having shot the others much, and being late to the game.
Para- cracked frames-especially commander sized models. (357 Sig here)
Randall - investment cast barrels, never fit. (when 1911 were really hard to find late 80s. here)
Springfield, cracked frames in Champion series, two piece barrels, sheared lugs on comped models. ( all of then here)
Colt finger collet system tapered barrel-- total POS. Series 80 safety. ( can be adjusted, some like some dislike)

All of them are in big kaka if Tisa,RIA,Girsan keep going.


Most people don't have what it takes to get old
