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.

I haven't fired thousands of rounds through mine - maybe 500 or so. But I've not had
any problems at all. Wish I could say the same about the Mosin Nagant. The Russians
must have spent a lot of time practicing how to load that damn thing. Hell, I screw
it up at the range. Those guys had to do it under attack by hordes of Germans!

Gosh, I'd been a believer in Harry's opinion until your comment. After all, he was a
hero of the Vietnam war, no?

Aren't you the guy that bragged about his Vietnam service but won't tell what unit he
was with?

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

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.

Tell us about your 'Vietnam service', or was that just another lie?

I bet if you look around a little you could find the Soviet training
manual and the procedure they were taught. You were in the army, you
know they drilled this until they could do it in their sleep.

It's not that hard with the regular infantry version. A stripper makes the job pretty
easy. The sniper version has the scope mounted so that the stripper won't work. So
it's one round at a time, with the scope in the way. I suppose the snipers weren't in
a big hurry to reload. One or two rounds and they were out of there. The sniper
version is a much smoother operating gun though.
