[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2685179, member: 1132"] At this point the Kimber thing has passed from documentable phenomenon to internet lore. It would be impossible to quantify an actual reject rate or percentage of guns shipped with QC issues. It would also be impossible to quantify how many of them were just sold or traded, rather than sent back to the factory. I felt pretty confident that the ones I passed on were corrected to the point they shouldn't have caused subsequent owners any issues. I think the point is that at Kimber's price point, the flaw rate is excessive. Considering the price and what other options are available in that ballpark, do you roll the dice and take a chance that you're getting one of the good ones? We do that with every man made object we buy of course, but it's a big ask of Kimber to trust them based on known issues with no known corrective action. As I've said, if you have one of the good ones don't part with it. it's up to the individual as to whether the juice is worth the squeeze on buying a new one though. [/QUOTE]
