[QUOTE="J.P., post: 720605, member: 6"] My experiences with Kimbers have not been positive. Dad and I each bought brand new Kimbers and they were junk...had multiple issues. I personally know others who've had bad experiences with Kimbers as well. In fact, I'm not sure that I personally know anyone who hasn't had problems with Kimber. That said, there are many people who report nothing but success with theirs. Any compnay can put out a lemon from time to time, particularly the larger the production scale. I think that when dealing with 1911s, the more that the original design is deviated from, the more issue can arise....this appears to be the case. That's probably why I've had such great luck with Colt...because they are truer to original spec. I don't think it's fair to say "[I]All Kimbers are junk[/I]", but there have been numerous issues that needed addressed and I think that maybe their QC department has let too many bad ones slip out giving them a bad reputation.
