KIMBER CUSTOM II

[jeffrice6]

I regret selling mine

Me too! One of the best bang for the buck 1911's out there!

Just a heads up.

Turner's is having a one day sale for a Kimber Custom II on Weds, 11-4-15 ONLY for $630.

This is the cheapest I found for a Kimber.

Yes, I am trying to ignore the ad right now ...

Wish it was an online deal.

Planning to get a rock island tactical for $470, do you think this will be better for little extra?

[EXTREMEOPS1]

Excellent and reliable

Wouldn't part with mine its an excellent rust free weapon never failed me

No Front Strap Checkering, No deal.

I saw this ad and thought.... Yeah I should get there early. Been debating between the Custom II or the TLE for a while now. This is the push I needed.

I love mine, got it from turners back in the day. I have probably put 6-8 K rounds through it. No rust problems, in fact really now problems. I would hands down do it again. I would be ok if it was my only 1911. I got mine for $750 +tax/fees.

[Prepped and ready]

Mine have never had rust or any other problem. They are smooth clean and reliable. I have one that has 1500 rounds through it and all I have done is keep it clean. I would definately buy another at that price, but I have 23 more days for my next dros.

I had the stainless with walnut grips, but traded it out last year for a Tikka rifle. Never had a problem with it, but I didn't care much for the sights.

I get that Kimber is a mid level brand and this one is at the very bottom of their full size lineup, but with an MSRP of $1000 (stainless version), I think at the bare minimum Kimber could put three little white dots on the sights. I mean, bottom tier guns like Taurus and Rock Island will give you night sights, checkered front strap, and an ambi safety for a lot less money. It's cool that Kimber gives you dovetail sights, but dovetails with an A1 sight picture?

My personal rants aside, this deal at Turners is a good one. For $630, I'd definitely do it. This price is less than a Springfield A1, so it's a screaming good deal even if it has cheap sights.

thanks for the heads-up.

Does all of them have rust issues?

[Calif Hunter]

I have one (rather, my 17-year old son has one) with the dreaded external extractor that was won at a FNRA dinner several years ago. It has functioned fine and is as accurate as all but one of my other 1911s, and the one that beats it is a custom gun. It has had a rust spot appear on the slide, but not bad enough to mar the unpolished surface. I did recently replace the full-length guide rod with a standard set up as that is what I prefer.

[Raptor3000]

Did Kimber fix this rust issue with their recent production or it still exists?

I love mine. I had a serious issue with a Chip McCormick 10 round mag when I first got the gun. Regular mags have been perfect and it's super accurate. Trigger is great too. For $630 you'd be hard pressed to get more accuracy and a better trigger.

The rust issue? Got the gun in 2007 and the barrel seems to have some discoloration. Not rust, but little spots that are... rust? Not enough to bother me. The idiot scratch I put on it and the holster wear are more of a problem cosmetically.
