Sick Of Kimber

[therevjay]

OK Kimbers really are junk. However just 'cause I'm a nice guy I'll take 'em off you hands. Just send me any you don't want craping up your safe. I'll even pay postage.

I'm not sure about that name biz. Why would "Kimber" be girly? If I remember right John Waynes real first name was "Marion". Somehow I don't think I would have ragged him too much about it. (even after he got old)

Grow up son, Kimber's are A-OK, and along with that Advertising is putting food on the table for many people. People still living at home and not having responsible jobs and lives in the community are a drag and detriment to society. If no jobs are local, relocate. Spread your wings and fly, the world awaits your contributions.

Game playing youth and Mall Ninga's are letting the world pass them by. The Chinese, Korean, and Indian kids are studying math and engineering along with medicine to better themselves. These are the people you should emulate as the world is theirs to conquer. Education and Hard Work still do work. Set aside your Smartphone, Computer, Music, for a longer period every day, communicate face to face with real people and learn some social interaction skills.

Many people could and should also take time to use a BARBER and a TAILOR for a change. Image does rule the world.

JMHO & 2 Cents worth

Plus one!

Kimber does make a pretty gun though.

Take away the Swartz and Front Cocking Serrations and I'd have to really figure out how to get one of these.

But not one of the most kept 1911's....

I'm pretty sure S&W used to make the frames and slides but that was a long time ago. I doubt I will ever buy any more 1911's (I have 3 Kimbers)but if I wanted one I would start by looking at S&W if they are less expensive.

This came up in their faq webpage a few years ago when the rumor first started. They denied S&W ever made any parts for them.

I like my girls petite.

I like them shapely and classy.

Kimber is girly?

How about "A boy named Sue" ???

Would that be better?

 

[mball]

I've had a total of six Kimbers over the years. All were accurate and reliable. The first one I ever owned went to my son-in-law about eight years ago. I had it six years before that. Still runs like a top.

The only semi auto in the safe now is a Glock 19. Everything else including my wife's EDC is a S&W revolver.

She's a honey. Here is my sex bomb in 10mm.

Edit: With the Wilson lanyard msh.

I enjoyed my Kimber Custom II while I had it. Had a friend who was jonseing for a 1911, so I sold it to him (didn't even take a loss).

I figure as much maintenance is required for a 1911, I'm better off going with a gun I won't have to constantly worry about whether or not I oiled it the previous day. Now I have an M&P40 and 9mm

 

[1911heaven]

I would put my 4566 up against a Kimber in the accuracy,fit,finish,warranty department any day- Yes,I get sick of hearing how prestigious Kimber is.Go to the 1911 forums and read the Kimber owners discussions for a good laugh you get to read how horrible their CS is,how many times they have been back and forth to the factory for repairs,how their 1 yr. warranty sucks,but that one time you get to put 50 rounds through it after a 2 month wait on the factory to ship it back how amazingly accurate they are! Not worth the inflated prices especially being equipped with the fp safety they have either-the Schwartz is definitely not with me!I love 1911's to no end but the snobbery that follows Kimber is rediculous but humorous.Guy the other day asked if I had a Sig,when I told him yes he proceeded to tell me that he carries a Kimber(something or other) like I was supposed to be impressed by his choice? I gathered he just asked about my Sig just so he could brag about his Kimber and what an instant expert shot he was :barf:

Here's my one Kimber - pretty but accurate & flawless so far - they make a good gun IMO - I was a little concerned about their slide coating (forget what they call it) but it has held up well.

Well, I do not have a "kimber in the dog fight" but my $250 Norinco and my $200 Hafsada certainly put the holes where I point the pistols. I get some "interesting glances and questions" when I bring these out for a run at the range, because most under the age of ~50 have never even seen them before. Dave_n
