Blew Out My O-Ring Today
Okay I had a troublesome Kimber. A ProCDP II. The factory mags were trash but it ran fine other than some MIM parts that broke...which Kimber replaced. It also seemed to devour recoil springs with an unholy appetite. I'd be forced to replace them way too soon. Looking back that could have been something else and I wasn't smart enough to diagnose it then....but swapping springs kept her running.
My goodness man that was nearly 10 years ago probably and alot can happen in ten years of manufacturing. Soooooo enough blabbering and on to the question:
1. Is Kimber's reliability out of the box on par with say an out of the box Springfield range officer now?
That's it. Now, unleash the flames. I love some of the Kimber commander sized options with the sort-of-but-not-quite-bobtail-cut. My gut tells me to run away and stick to Colt or Springfield, though. Yeah yeah yeah I can rent one but a box of rounds ain't gonna tell me much long term except it shoots nice.
