Petition to Kimber?

[ol' scratch]

Kimber are beautiful guns. I have 2 and my carry is a Kimber pro carry. But after the 2 I stopped buying Kimbers. (As I understand guns better). My last 1911 is a series 70 colt repro and my next one is a Glock 17 4th generation. I don't plan to buy Kimbers or if i will do it again i will not spend money on kimbers. If they offer me a series one with non MIM items and keep the prices to what they are now then maybe. My cheaper ultra reliable, more beautiful blued 70 colt series repro shoots about the same as my ultra tight kimbers. While colts have better metals. (and better history to boot)

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't ALL 1911's in this price range made with MIM parts? Even the Colts? Here is an older 2003 thread from THR on the subject.

I don't understand why that sort of safety would even be a problem...

I have a friend his has broken twice . That's one reason He isn't happy with his.
