So I was in a local shop today and I asked the owner if he had any Kimber Solos in yet. He said, "sorry, I don't carry Kimber products anymore."
Now you may say who cares, it's only one shop. And maybe you'd be right. But this shop is a local fixture, the owner is incredibly trustworthy, and his prices are always within $20-$40 of Bud's. The owner has a policy, if you buy a gun from him, whether its a $250 Kel-Tec or a $4,000 custom rifle, if you have ANY issues, he will be your point of contact with the manufacturer and makes things right. He deals with shipping, everything, and if the manufacturer doesn't make things right, the in-house gunsmith will, and if all else fails, he'll give you store credit and take back the gun.
When I pressed him on why he dropped Kimber, he said there have just been too many problems. He was faced with the choice of changing his policies or dropping Kimber, so he dropped Kimber.
Anyhow, just some info, FWIW.
