Hey Y'all, just curious to reach out and get some feedback what you guys think about Kimber 1911's?
Personally, NEVER owned one although if I had the chance to get one in a trade I would really like to try one out for myself, I just haven't been offered one that appealed to me, so I can't speak much on liking or hating them.
I've personally heard/read many "failure" stories about them, but I've also read a lot of good stuff on them, they seem to be a hit or miss company but then again why would someone gamble $1000+ on them when they can buy a proven platform for that elsewhere I've even noticed a few gunsmiths won't work on them just because of the name "Kimber".
I've handled a few, fitment on the full size ones I've held felt pretty nice, trigger was nice, in my opinion they're one of the nicer "modern" 1911's in terms of looks. When I held the Micro pistols that look like 1911's I was not impressed at all, fitment was sloppy, trigger on my SKS felt better, etc...
Anyhow, Just looking for feedback from someone who has actually owned one, was the experience good or no? If not, why not?
