Sell it to Tim for parts and buy a decent rifle that shoots cheap

Easy to load, cheap ammo, better quality than the Mosin you cannot
load or shoot.



Typical Democrat avoids the hard questions. Nice editing, deadbeat!

Missed the other question.

Learn to read. I didn't say I couldn't load it. And I didn't say I
couldn't shoot it.


Just your usual level of incompetency, eh?



Your replies, and selective editing, aren't transparent, eh?

There you go. You try to help the guy out and you received a double douse of his rancor for your troubles.
I don't know why you bother.


You are a simpleton, dummy. STFU and go buy whatever salespeople tell
you to. Your economy needs the help of idiots with inheritance money to
overspend.

Say what!
Lord help those poor kids you taught a few years ago. Didn't the school board instruct you on how to use a dictionary?
So when you say, "...you received a double douse of his rancor...", you meant Harry
got liquid poured all over him?

Not sure if I would refer to your rancor as liquid, but you get the idea.

Perhaps you simply made a mistake and misspelled 'dose'? No biggy. We all make
mistakes.

That's a nice looking gun! I have large hands so a short, single-stack
like that might be hard to control for me.

Kimber does sell an extended magazine which gives a little better grip. I bought one
for the Sig P938. Big help, and an extra round.

Have you heard if Kimber has returned to their legendary build quality?
I've heard and read that it had suffered a bit but that was maybe four
years ago.
Except from Harry, I've not heard anything bad about Kimbers. This is my Kimber .45:

http://www.kimberamerica.com/tactical-custom-hd-ii-a

I love it. It's the best shooting gun I have...smoothest by far. I like the Sig 226,
but I can't shoot it as well as the Kimber. Then again, the Sig holds twice as many
rounds, so I need to shoot it only half as well...right?

If you search "Kimber quality" you will see a lot of results. The time
frames vary, as do the opinions, but the consensus seems to be that they
had problems and fixed them. If any problems did exist they could have
been limited to a few designs. Harry's opinion is worthless and usually
unfounded.

Having owned 3 Kimbers I can say I've never had an issue with any of them. I did have one jam, but it was my own fault. It needed cleaned badly. otherwise...

Others I know who own Kimber arms regardless of what model or caliber haven't had an issue with theirs either.

Maybe some people just like to gripe and look at the worst in everything.


That's certainly true. I wanted a Kimber 1911 and, at the time, was
advised to not purchase one (by a trusted shop) and I found reviews
supporting that. It was 8-10 years ago so that this what lead to my
question to John.

I put some rounds through a loaner Kimber once and thought it was a

The trigger is _smoooth_ for a striker-fired gun. It's an affordable .40
cal that I hope to not have to use other than at the range. They make a
9mm version for the same price.

I'm wishing I'd waited for this to come out rather than get the Sig P938. This is a
sweet gun:

Comes in a .380 also.

That's a nice looking gun! I have large hands so a short, single-stack
like that might be hard to control for me.

Kimber does sell an extended magazine which gives a little better grip. I bought one
for the Sig P938. Big help, and an extra round.

Have you heard if Kimber has returned to their legendary build quality?
I've heard and read that it had suffered a bit but that was maybe four
years ago.
Except from Harry, I've not heard anything bad about Kimbers. This is my Kimber .45:

I love it. It's the best shooting gun I have...smoothest by far. I like the Sig 226,
but I can't shoot it as well as the Kimber. Then again, the Sig holds twice as many
rounds, so I need to shoot it only half as well...right?

If you search "Kimber quality" you will see a lot of results. The time
frames vary, as do the opinions, but the consensus seems to be that they
had problems and fixed them. If any problems did exist they could have
been limited to a few designs. Harry's opinion is worthless and usually
unfounded.
Having owned 3 Kimbers I can say I've never had an issue with any of them. I did have one jam, but it was my own fault. It needed cleaned badly. otherwise...

Others I know who own Kimber arms regardless of what model or caliber haven't had an issue with theirs either.

Maybe some people just like to gripe and look at the worst in everything.


That's certainly true. I wanted a Kimber 1911 and, at the time, was
advised to not purchase one (by a trusted shop) and I found reviews
supporting that. It was 8-10 years ago so that this what lead to my
question to John.


Could be. There could have been some QC issues I wasn't aware of and maybe I got 3 good out of 4, But I'm simply saying that out of the Kimbers I've had, I had no reason to complain about them at all.


===

I put some rounds through a loaner Kimber once and thought it was a
fine gun. It would be high up on my list if looking for a new 45.


And if Krause owned one they'd be the best guns in the world.

Nope. Lots of problems with limbers and I have no use for a semiauto .45
ACP.
