I agree with that.

Once you start catching heat, it's hard to put out the fire. (A company that puts out a higher-priced 1911 should at least include a metal mainspring housing and a second magazine. (But, as far as function goes, they do go bang)).


I think part of Kimber's problem was they sold way more 1911's than anybody. High production can lead to slips in QC and you just plain have more problem pistols out there because of the shear volume sold. An you know how it is you don't hear so much about the good pistols but you darn sure hear about the problem ones.
