I am going to challenge anyone here that has owned a Kimber that supposedly had MIM parts to show me how those parts failed.

The price difference is still going to be over $800 when you look at the street prices. Not the $400 to $500 like many have suggested. I'm talking about when you compare the SS Valor vs. a SS Ed KC or EC. I don't think anyone can truly know what the value is until we see some in the marketplace. No 2010 DW's have shipped save a couple of Heritage's or the CA version of the CBOB (which is no different from the '09 that was available everywhere). Let's save the 2010 debate until we can say people have bought one and we really know what the new quality is like.
Where are all these junk Kimbers at for sale at discounted prices?

You don't visit GunBroker much do you?An older Kimber with the external extractor would still sell pretty quick for a decent price because most people out there don't know that they were problematic.

I do not know to what extent a gun being "made in the USA" is, but that was their answer.
That means that greater than 50% of the final machining/fitting/parts manufacture (aftermarket) were done domestically...it is like the number of domestic parts that had to be added to a "foreign Black Rifle" (AK, FAL) to allow it's import
Is that 50% a confirmed number or standard across firearms?
