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.
