For the money there are often better choices. At the 800-900 dollar range I shrug my shoulders, when you get to the 1200 plus range I stamp my feet for there are Dan Wesson and others out there that are clearly better choices when talking that kind of money.
Took a 1911 armorer class.. many a time the words " those with a kimber will note it does this here is how you fix it" were uttered.
As others have mentioned their external extractor did not help at all - saw a few of those that simply were a no go in terms of function.
Lastly do not be fooled by the "custom shop" stamp on a Kimber -- there is nothing custom about it and there is incredible little if any and fitting or tuning that goes into one -- it's a factory gun like any other.
