Sounds like you have Kimbers. What’s your take? Internet nonsense? True for some products, not others?
I have no ardvaark in this race. I know two people who have personally owned Kimber 1911's who said they were absolute lemons. I also know someone who carries a Kimber 1911 on duty and says it's just fine 'if you keep it clean'.

I've been tempted to try one, but the thought of a thousand dollar lemon doesn't sit well with me. I've had good luck with Colt and Springfield. Make sure you can inspect them before purchase.
