[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4092842, member: 45773"] I was a Kimber Master Dealer and a member on the Kimber Dealer Advisory Board (the top 19 Master Dealers from around the country) from about 2001 - 2009. I also had a website that sold only Kimber OEM parts. I have no idea how many Kimber pistols I sold...but it would've been in the hundreds. I never had one complaint from any customer who bought one. Not a single complaint. Most people who bought one, bought a second or even a third. I've owned maybe 20 or more Kimbers and had one that I didn't like. It functioned fine but the finish was way too smooth/slippery in my opinion. That was an SIS model based on a gun that was supplied to some special LAPD unit. I've heard all the stories but my experience sure doesn't align with the horror stories. My guess is like many things most of the people that talk bad about them have probably never owned one. They just repeat what they've heard. It's not a phenomenon that's unique to Kimber. I'm sure some of the stories are legitimate. Kimber makes and sells a very large number of guns so I'm sure a lemon or two gets into the hands of someone. Just remembered... I took a Micro 9 (forget what model) in trade. I didn't like it, either. Worked fine but the thumb safety and trigger really bit me every time I fired it. One of the best 1911 pistols I've ever had was an early Warrior. Fantastic gun. I gave it to my son when he was awarded a Bronze Star w/V after the battle of Fallujah. He still has it...and I'm hoping I get to babysit it while he and DiL travel around the country in an RV for a while since his retirement. [/QUOTE]
