I have been reading the posts on the 1911 forum regarding the many problems shooters are having with various model Kimber pistols. I just bought a Pro Elite and have not any problems with mine although I have only put 200 rounds through it. I must say that I love the look and feel of the Kimber. However, for a company that is supposed to provide fine pistols, I think that there are too many complaints for the fauls to be borne solely by the shooters who own them. Maybe all the Kimber owners who have been having problems with their pieces should bombard the company with email outlining all the difficulties they have been experiencing and demand a refund or replacement. These large companies will only listen if they think that their customer base is threatened. I believe that most shooters listen to other expert shooters, such as we have on these forums, regarding the reliability of firearms produced be the various manufacturers rather than listen to the advertising hype by the companies themselves. It is us who depend on these guns for self defense and the defense of our loved ones. With this in mind, there is absolutely no room for malfunction or error.
From what I have been reading so far, Kimber has been making too many excuses instead of providing what I call "life or death" satisfaction to the customers.
As shooters, and paying customers, we need to demand more from Kimber and also let them hear our disgruntlement in no uncertain terms. Sorry for the long post
