Kimber 1911

Yea, don't buy a kimber. Overpriced with poor QC

Damn near any 1911 is better, especially when comparing costs

Enjoy your rust and shitty MIM parts

Fingering a Kimber, lol

Buy it and it'll fist your asshole.

Would you recommend I go for a Springfield instead?

>>29738864
Springfield/Ruger is good for that price range

>>29738864
For the price of a Kimber you could get a Dan Wesson, leagues better.

Try Les Baer

if you are buying a 1911 in a physical gunstore dont judge it on brand. price should be a minimal consideration
actually examine he damn thing you want to buy
check the grip safety the sights the thumbsafety how well all the parts go together and interact
as a noob you probably dont know what to look for and and any gun you touch will impress you

Got a Kimber Custom II for my first handgun, if I was gonna do it over again I would have gotten a Sig Sauer 1911. However the Kimber has been a badass piece, super accurate, 0 issues with feeding. Don't understand all the Kimber hate /k/ has to offer

They make beautiful guns but for the price they should have better quality.

Out of the two I have owned, neither would function right, one was a 9mm, the other .45, even with WC magazines they would FTF/FTE.

That's odd, I have had 0 hiccups with mine. Ive compared it to friends of mine who own Springfield and Colt 1911s and they all are subpar in comparison. Maybe I just got a lemon that works properly

>>29738712
Pro tip? Buy a different brand. Kimber is okay but not worth the money. Just my opinion.

>>29738953
Should've went with the SIG. I love mine.

>>29738953

from my understanding around ~2009 kimbers QC went to shit

I have a kimber custom 2 and its fantastic but i got it in 2008

then again /k/ is a bunch of parroting noguns so its very likely that kimber is just fine and no one here knows anything

you could have an sti for the money...

Depends on the generation. Current new kimbers have shit quality. Literally bottom of the barrel. It's sad.

Bought it in November of 2014, relatively new.

This, you retarded newfag.

for your first gun i wouldn't get something super expensive like that. If you're set on a 1911 go with something a bit cheaper like a springfield mil-spec or an RIA. Last thing you want to do is spend all that money on something you might not end up liking.

colt government would be the basic recommendation

i've heard good things about para ordnance too
