Well, I hate admitting defeat but but my Kimber is likey going back today.
The pistol has had numerous FTF, FTE and damaging brass issues. It has been worked on the gunsmiths 3 times and even sent back to Kimber once (new barrel and relapped/fitted) It still will not shoot 3 consecutive shots without a stoppage of some sort.
The dealer hase given me a choice.
1. continue to work on it, sending back to kimber or the in-house gunsmiths, what ever it takes. All on his dime of course cuz that is the way he is.
or,
2. He will take it back and give me an $1100.00 shopping spree in his store. (I am sure he would just give me the cash if I asked, but he takes such good care of me I want to spend the refund back in his store so he isn't completely out)
The question is, what would you do?
I know I want a nice 1911, doesn't have to be the best, but I do not want the bottom end ither.
With the $1100.00, I know I could find a nice 1911 and have enough left over for somthing else.
In the $600.00 range, what 1911's do you guys like? What else would you buy with the left over?
