"Hand fitted" kimber?

[LowThudd]

Wait your mode of transportation is uber and we're suppose to take advice from you...right.

Maybe he assumes we are all drinking? Projecting possibly.

I know someone who has a small Kimber 45 pistol. I do not know the model name, but it is one of their shortest models that was available 15+ years ago: It is the one that needs a special tool to disassemble. He finally got it "broken-in", and it supposedly now shoots flawlessly. Yes, it took about 15 years to do it. I do not understand why a gun needs to be broken-in.

No, but they sure do like to give you plastic mainspring housings and mag releases, MIM galore, tons of loose breech, godawful checkering, poor slide to frame fit, only one mag, write fake claims of a "custom shop" on some of their guns, and a long history of known barrel rust. If thats your thing, go for it

I have a couple kimbers, couple DW, S&W, Sig and colts. Only one of them came with plastic MSH, and it was a colt. The loosest ones are the Colts, and the Colts have no checkering.

So, by your logic I guess Colts suck too?

EXACTLY! I've seen more problems with these super tight tolerance guns than I ever have in standard off the rack 1911's

having shot the original Army Colt 1911s while in the service, later retail Colt 1911s and now Wilson "hand fitted" guns... I can safely say that in MY opinion that is not a fact.

Come on man, that says way more about your 50 rounds a year friend then about the gun. And I don't believe in break in periods, but I know a guy that knows a guy that is a expert in all things that need 15 + years to break in.

Love how a Kimber "fitting" question brings out the haters!!!
Unless a Kimber post starts with my Kimber: Treat it as Internet garbage ~
