I quit buying Kimber 1911's after a couple bad experiences with them. I have owned three, my first was an early 5" steel frame gun that was excellent. The last two were 4" guns and they both had issues, one was totally screwed up. I don't roll the dice with Kimber now since there are so many other manufacturers that produce a decent product.
So how does that answer the OP's question?
You just can't wait to dump on Kimber? If we were talking pickup trucks you'd jump in about your bad experience with Kimber.
