I understand the internet fodder, and tend to take that with a grain of salt unless it's from a reliable source. What is not subjective is their 1 year warranty. The higher ups at Kimber thought through the warranty they'd offer and decided on 1 year. I'm curious as to what the thought process was.
The 1-year warranty is especially suspect given their stated 500-round break-in period. A lot of people don't get 500 rounds through a new gun in a year (I do, but I shoot a fair amount). So, for some people, by the time they discover that a problem is not remedied by the recommended break-in, they would be past a 1-year warranty.
