Aug 1, 2021 · The reason Kimber gets a lot of bad rep is because they're a "custom" assembly line gun and they only test fire out the factory. People get it, find out it won't shoot but they probably don't try to shoot a few hundred rounds of it before making such a guess. Kimber suggests 300-500 rounds right out the box before you put it into use.

Apr 2, 2024 · I just bought a Kimber KDS9C with rails and was having a quandary about what holster to buy. Funny enough I had two inside IWB holsters from milt sparks. One for a Colt Commander and the other for a Sig 229. The Kimber did not fit in the Commander holster, but oddly enough it fits like glove in the Sig holster.

Nov 8, 2024 · Kimber's cool idea of placing a raised edge around the slide and mag release helps prevent that. ETA I'm far from a Kimber fan boy. The only one I had ever owned prior to this was an Ultra Carry many years ago. I hated it and sold it and have never given Kimber a second thought until I saw this.

Jun 4, 2021 · Kimber gets a bad rap partially because a lot of shooters think a mini 1911 might be a good idea. Mini 1911s all suck to a certain degree, sure some of them work, but just about all decent trainers that see thousands of 1911s a year will all tell they just plain suck.

Mar 17, 2016 · For me that means I'm still ok with my choice to carry the Kimber Micro as my summer weather concealed carry handgun. In the winter, I generally carry a S&W Model 60 in .357 Mag, and penetration and expansion just aren't a problem in heavy clothing. And, in a pocket holster the Kimber micro would make a good backup gun/New York reload.

Nov 25, 2024 · It’s already difficult enough to get a single stack Kimber through an entire magazine without choking. This will be fucking hopeless. Posted: 11/25/2024 11:05:22 AM EDT

Feb 23, 2025 · Kimber started out using MIM barrel bushings and quickly found out that was a poor process for a bushing. Wilson used MIM parts in their lower end 1911s back then including the ignition set. After Kimber had so many MIM part failures people kept calling up Wilson pissed that their $1600 1911 had MIM parts in it.

Dec 27, 2023 · So the Kimber sear spring, if that's what we're talking about, a factory Kimber? That lightened sear spring, two of three legs are narrower. If you're handy, have taken a 1911 apart this far and feel comfortable doing so, slide off, hammer down, drift out the mainspring housing pin, slide the mainspring housing down ONLY about 1/2", remove the ...

Dec 6, 2024 · Kimber is a company which clings onto relevance by its fingernails because they are somewhat aesthetically pleasing and happen to be the most expensive guns in the case at the local big-box sporting goods store so people who only burn 300 rounds a year in a square bay equates to them with “quality”.
