YOU FEED YOUR SHORTS TO........oh, nevermind.....
I have been reading gun magazines for the past 50 years or so. I like the magazines and enjoyed the 2 I got today. They are not as big or as good as they use to be, but I still like them. If Kimber is willing to help defray the costs of publishing these magazines, I am all for it.
I passed on a used Kimber last month, but did buy a new Ruger 1911. It joins a 70 Series GC and a Combat Commander.

Whew, had me worried there for a minute. Since impedance is opposition to current flow when a voltage is applied, I was wondering what you were doing with Viagra and electricity.
As for the Kimber portion of this thread, I don't shoot any form of competition and my "production" Colt will hit the 9/10 ring on a full size torso shaped target at 10 yards. Can't see the need to shell out a bucket full of money for something more expensive that will do the same thing. But I do like looking at the pictures of guns in ads even though I really do get the magazines "for the articles."

Well, I don't have a Kimber but I do have an opinion. And that is that I would not in the least mind having a Kimber in the house.
But if I had my druthers in the world of expensive .45s, for some reason my thoughts turn to Wilsons.

When cable TV came down the pike, there were two camps of opinion concerning it's ad-vantages over commercial free television. It's critics said "why pay for television when it's free?" and some brainchild replied, "because we are paid for by subscription and there will be fewer or no commercials necessary to sustain programming." We knew then that was baloney, now there is no doubt.
The other view, was that eventually cable would be AS COMMERCIAL as "commercial television" is/was then and cost more. I heard that argument probably somewhere near 40 years ago. Today both venues are fraught with commercials and worse...agonizingly long and repetitive infomercials and we actually pay for it to add insult to injury.
Then we move fast forward to the demise of FM radio. (I won't even mention AM radio) The introduction of satellite radio which held the same great promise of commercial free entertainment via PAID subscriptions.
When your watching TV, satellite or whatever media you enjoy and an annoying commercial comes on, change the station....or in the case of this thread concerning gun rags and Kimber ads....use your secret super hero powers and
turn the page. The good news is that you'll likely see a pretty gal sportin' a firearm from Kahr Arms or European American Armory, or Dillon Press....among others. That should calm any Kimber ad anxiety that may arise.
Use your powers! The force be with you!

By the way, "kimber" would not imply a "girly" name - kimberlite is the volcanic rock matrix in which diamonds are found -- and kimberlite is formed with very high temperatures and literally explodes upwards from areas containing magma to form "pipes" of kimberlite in which diamonds are found -- have no clue if those characteristics played any part in the naming of "Kimber".

Isn't it great that we live in a country where a company can spend their money, and as much as they like, in pretty much any media venue that they choose.
And isn't it great that we live in a country where people are free to complain about the silliest things.
I love being an American.

I buy gun magazines to read about and look at photos of firearms. If there were ads every other page for coffee makers I might take offense. I really don,t care how an American gun manufacturer spends their advertising dollars. I own a "K" word gun but have never brought it up in conversation as if it were the only one worth owning. I've shot my Taurus more and probably better.
Now all you Taurus haters can pile on.

I likes my Kimber TLE II but my new E-series is quickly becoming my most carried 1911
"Oh yeah, Kimber sounds like a girl's name, so there's that. "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I think it's very telling that the kimber owners on here attacked me when I attacked their precious Kimbers when in truth, I never said anything bad about the guns themselves........... "
Now you have to back track a little since you found so much opposition to your original posting. This forum is not the normal gun forum---meaning---"if it's not blah blah blah, it's no good"
The people here are a better class of people and hold themselves to a higher standard. We have REAL collectors here--and I am not one of them by any means. We deal with reality more than feelings.
Welcome to realville and enjoy yourself. Realist are happy people.
I learn and grow from reading from the postings of these good people here and am a better person for it. I can't say that of other forums- I really can't!

Get over yourself and your Vulcanology. Kimber does sound like a girly name, but at least she is feeling a little bit of a chill, and thats all good if you know what I mean
I would assume Kimber is the founder's last name.
