Kimber sis???

[Bill2e]

Why did Kimber stop making the SIS?

Did they really bow to the presure of the polically correct or were they not selling???

What was not politcally correct about the SIS? The SIS wasn't that much different than their other pistols besides the tacticool SIS slide serrations.

AFAIK...
They were suppose to be a limited edition series.

I got one of the last of them, October 09 build.

and was just recently removed from their website. Their main site anyways.

The "SIS" is one of the maybe 3 Kimbers i actually like. If i found one for a fair price, id snag it. I love the sights

Pro: No superfluous parts for firing pin obstruction. Outside the repressive jurisdiction which originated the model, at least.
Con: Slick coating over the logo in lieu of serrations means a gorilla grip is necessary to rack the slide.

I like the rear sight on the SIS. I find it much more appealing than the wedge type.

This is completely incongruous and at odds with the other well thought out features for what is supposed to be a gunfighter's weapon. Not to mention ugly.

And welcome back.
