I just picked up a new Ruger SR40C for the car. Got the stainless
version so I don't have to oil the hell out of it for that environment. 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. http://ruger.com/products/sr40c/specSheets/3476.html |

I've heard and read that it had suffered a bit but that was maybe four years ago. |

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? -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |

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. |

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.

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. -- I can see why the "sniper" version would be your preference. I assume it is the same reason why you wanted the Hbar AR (besides sliding through the Md loophole in the law) They were a selected for better accuracy than the standard infantry version. |

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. http://ruger.com/products/sr40c/specSheets/3476.html I'm wishing I'd waited for this to come out rather than get the Sig P938. This is a sweet gun: http://www.kimberamerica.com/micro-9?___SID=U Comes in a .380 also. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! 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? -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! 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. |
