This is my second kimber and I've yet to have a problem. I heard people had some problems for a short while when they switched to the external extractor, but since then I've not heard of any complaints. Are there better 1911's out there? Sure, but With Kimber I think you get more bang for your buck so to speak. I'd love a wilson combat or an ed brown, but I can't justify paying $2,500+ for something that the vast majority of shooters can't tell a difference in. I paid just over $1,300 for this one, it came with night sigts, ambi safety, and a mag well. If I got the cheapest les baer, or ed brown, I'd have paid $2,000 for it and had to add all the extra's I wanted. I know some people have pet peaves about MIM parts, but honestly I defy your average shooter to be able to tell the difference.
