Very funny. I have the basic Custom Classic. It has the old style trigger and grip screws (although I've put in Brown hex since). The reason I'm asking is because from reading some posts and hearing hearsay at the local gun shops, it would almost seem that quality is declining and problems are rising. I understand the more guns, more problems theory, but I'm trying to see if there is a correlation between Kimber satisfaction and manufacturing dates. I have no problems with mine, so this isn't a reassurance-buyers remorse type of thing. However, my conclusions WILL affect my future purchases when and if considering another Kimber.
On one hand, I'm glad I got the old-style, but on the other, I kinda wish I could have gotten the polished breech face, hex screws, and aluminum trigger for no additional charge as seen in the newer models.
As a side note, I have not tried anything but ball in my Kimber. Will it reliably feed hollowpoints and wadcutters?
