Kimber Custom ll with about 5,000 rounds through it. Not a burp ever and accurate as I need. Based on the above posts it does appear to be the luck of the draw and I'm not a gambler so it looks as if the XD wins for the space of the next 45 for me.

This post is not a defense of Kimber but a reaction to what has become the norm on THR and the internet in general.

Well isn't that nice. That's all it took for you to make a decision ... you saw a Glock that was "failing to run worth a dam" and now you don't want one anymore. Say after me "do you want fries with that?"
Did you happen to "observe" any useful details such as what magazines the shooter was using, what ammunition, how many rounds had been fired through the pistol, was it lubricated correctly etc.? But why bother right? It's just a Kimber which you KNOW are unreliable so there's no need for due diligence. Why waste our time with real data when you can make a general statement about your calibrated "observations".
