So, what is wrong with a Kimber?

MIM... there is a difference.

Ive got a kimmy. Carry her everywhere. Shoots perfect.


Every good forum needs something to pick on. Kimber is the butt of most "jokes."

My own take on this is that MIM was invented to make tooling tough enough to cut the newer super alloys. If done right, MIM parts should be pretty much indestructible.

On the other hand, I don't like additional firing pin blocking systems in a 1911. Why add complexity (and possible failure points) you don't really need?

If I were looking to buy a Kimber, I'd look for a pre-II gun. On the other hand, for $600 I might learn to like a II.

That and I've done a bunch of things to the CDP that are "personal" touches and that makes it hard to sell to someone else, meaning tastes vary.



Wrong

Nice! That I can understand. My M&P 40C was my first. I would have loved to have a Kimber 1911 as my first., and I would keep it too.
