I read or heard that over the last few years Kimber was putting out some lemons. I was told that they got their act together now and are building quality guns again. However two of my local gun shops won't carry them because they said their crap. All the other gun shops think their top notch. Anyone care to comment on this? I would like to buy one, if they are a good quality 1911. I like the Custom II model. I was also looking into the new SR1911 as well. I don't care for Colt 1911's. Nothing bad about Colt, I just really like the Kimber. Oh and before anyone says get a Smith and Wesson, I was told from gun review writer Chuck Hawks to stay away from S&W products.
