I had one of their rimfires when they first came out, so it may have changed a bit. I was highly disappointed with mine. It functioned fine and would be a nice plinker, but I wanted a .22 1911 to practice with. I was shooting bullseye then and thought it would be a good alternative to burning up hundreds of rounds of .45 a week practicing. Unfortunately, the Kimber was really light, nowhere close to my match gun, so it never actually felt like a .45. It simply didn't have the weight to hang out there like a .45, which is a shame. Hell, a big part of bullseye is simply getting used to sticking a loaded .45 out to your side with one hand for an extended period. A .45 gets heavy, and the Kimber didn't.
Also, the trigger on it sucked and the finish was appallingly rough. The trigger could have been fixed but the weight and finish issues made me sad.
Verdict: good for plinking, terrible as for bullseye training. I know most people who are interested in this gun wouldn't be trying to do what I was wanting with it, but that is my experience.
