Why does Kimber refuse to produce a quality product? Are they

I have no experience with Kimber, but I know lots of fudds who own them because

>muh 1911

Don't buy one then.

>>32251839
Modern, lightweight, affordable pistol with a 17 round capacity?
Nah, fuck that! I'll trust my life and the lives of those around me with a 2.5 pound chunk of rusty steel with only 8 rounds with a 106 year old design!

>>32251867
I don't plan on it.
Am I not allowed to comment on something, though?

If I am allowed, then your comment holds no meaning, and states the obvious.

If I am NOT allowed, then you are not allowed to comment on this thread.

I fucking hate when people say that when you criticize something. "If you don't like it, don't buy it!" Yeah, I'm fucking not! I'm just commenting on it. Chill senpai.

My other comment was a bit of an exxageration, but if you honestly feel comfortable that you can control yourself in a stressful situation and land a few rounds of .45 on target quickly, good for you.

I have a bit of a personal crusade against anything stronger than 9 mak since I get crazy shaky when I have an adrenaline rush, and I would have trouble controlling heavier recoil.

Refer to my comment about Five-seveNs.

>>32251909
>Baer
Oh shit, is that a 9?
How many does it hold?

I was actually just browsing some random gun forums and some people were saying that a 1911 in 9 would be one of the longest lasting firearms possible.

>>32251940
Naw. It's 45. I reload 45 which is so much more fun to reload versus 9. I also have a lightweight commander in 38 super. Holds 10+1.

fuck kimber - from that Red guy

I have this, but I really want a real steel version.
Preferably in 9.
Going to gunsmithing school in just over a year, so maybe it will become a reality.

Ayy, you made it

>>32251804
I'm glad my local gunshop didn't shill me on these shitheaps back when I started getting into handguns. I've dug up rifles and handguns from the mud that I trust more than Kimbers. Still in the market for a 1911, mostly cause it'll go nicely with my 1903.

>thinking anyone's opinion actually matters.

>>32252215
I don't.

They can still live off their glory/Calakasmas days and the Fudds know no better.

Plus if they buy either the Front/back/inside fold out/whatever big ass advertisement in "I Read About Shooting NRA Biquarterly" they know enough nofuns will eat that shit up.

So I guess half Jew half retarded marketing....

I am glad I sold my Kumber during one of the crazes.

>Implying you need more than 6 rounds. Implying you will ever need to fire more than 2 rounds in any SD situation

>>32252239
Also bought a Baer so I could have a reputable 1911.

Couple years ago when they jumped from 1650/1700-2000+

>>32252239
>Calakasmas
I googled this and the only result was this thread; you're gonna have to eli5.

>implying my nerves and hands don't go to jelly when I have an adrenaline rush
>implying that in a firefight everyone is a super duper cowboy "only needs one shot" badass who definitely doesn't just magdump until they die or kill the attacker
>implying having extra chances to hit the bad guy and less recoil to make follow up shots more likely to land is a bad thing

If you're going camping for two weeks, do you bring exactly two weeks of camping supplies?

>>32252252
Holy shit.
And people say 5.7 is expensive...
I would much rather spend that money in a custom gun than just a high end 1911, but to each their own. And soon enough I'll just be able to make them.

>>32252277
Where did this less recoil meme come from? Every 9mm carry pistol I've ever shot has had more kick than any 1911. All steel is where it's at.

>>32251804
>Rust

>>32252867

The recoil may come from the heavy as fuck slide from your 92f.

>>32252867
>9mm
>kick
pick one, unless you are a sub 100lb female(term used loosely because we are on 4 chan)

Kimber use to actually be good way back in like 2007-2008.

I heard stories of folks in Iraq and AFG with Kimbers.

>>32253108
Los Angeles Swat is currently using Kimber TLE 4" with a rail. They seem to have improved and work really well.

Kimber being good is a meme.
Kimber being bad is a meme.

>>32253085
Nope. Just an average 6'1" 180lb dude. And my 1911 is much more manageable for me.

lift some weights nigger with your girly man sissy arms

>>32251868
When has a fud with a 1911 failed to stop a shooter because he ran out of bullets?

>>32251868
The 17 rounds you are referring to, probably 9mm right? That came about over a century ago, 9mm isn't a spring chicken. Don't judge a caliber by its age.
