Kimber and Springfield 1911s…
It’s inevitable that one day I’d compare a Springfield to a Kimber. I did not know it was going to cause me to buy several… although, I suspect I would have anyway. In January I ordered my first Kimber Stainless II in 10mm. The only real complaints I had were that the slide rails had been bead...www.thearmorylife.com
Both of mine shoot goodI sold a lot of them while at the LGS. Never heard of any issues. I did own 2 at one time and they seemed to work fine for me. I know a lot of people don't like them, then again a lot of people don't like Glocks.
Yeah I guess it comes down to each his/her own. I think Kimber has some very good looking pistols but it has been said beauty is skin deep.I sold a lot of them while at the LGS.

i had a Custom II, which meant it had the Schwartz safety, and it was a 2 tone.I haven't seen any pros/cons on Kimber 1911's. It's possible I simply missed finding information on these.
I have a Pro Carry II and it’s a good gun, very accurate, but it has the Swartz safety, of which I am not a big fan.I haven't seen any pros/cons on Kimber 1911's. It's possible I simply missed finding information on these.
Kimber is like the Glock of 1911s. You have a bunch of die hard fan boys who claim its the greatest gun ever made and just feel obligated to tell everybody anywhere near them. Nothing will ever change their minds and they won't stand for someone to speak ill of their true love.
Back when I was shooting IDPA regularly, I saw more Kimbers choke on the firing line than any other brand of pistol. I wouldn't have one of 'em.![]()
