I put a Kimber LW 9mm on layaway during the holidays. The price was good and I have never owned a Kimber firearm. I normally buy 1911's that come from the Phillipines. My RIA in particular in .45 acp has been excellent.
This time I decided to opt for what I term a higher end 1911 and the price was only slightly higher than my RIA and ATI 1911's.
I received it today and took it to the range. It shot excellent. I put 150 rounds through it and only had one FTE, but I chalked it up to break-in. I can see now why folks like Kimber 1911s and they are a step up from ATI and RIA. The sights, while I need to adjust slightly are much nicer. It felt good in the hand, cycles and felt good, and was accurate.
I'm glad I made the purchase, and, based on my experience with Kimber, will be looking for a 45 acp Kimber in the future.
Below are a couple of pics showing the firearm and my shooting range results.
The center target was shot from 12 yards. I have to adjust it a bit as I had to aim off center and to the left of the target center to hit near the center.
