I have only owned two kimber 1911's and have never had a problem. I know atleast 30 guys that all swear by their Kimber 1911's. I have met one guy that had anything bad to say about Kimber's 1911's. When I asked him how many he has owned and which ones his answer, I have never owned any just heard they have a lot of problems. Now add the people I don't know but see at the range all the time shooting their Kimber 1911's probably close to another 30 maybe more. I never hear them b-tching and whining about their guns. Then there is the causal conversations with like minded shooters and still I don't hear all these problems. Rather the opposite is what I hear and how impressed they are with them. Nothing scientific about my findings just real world opinions from guys that I know shoot their guns. By the way I don't own any Kimber's at this time. But I would not think twice if one were to find a good deal on one that I liked.
