Yeah, I always take complaints from non-owners or guys who've never owned one of the guns with a grain of salt.

Still, I'd like to own a 1911 but don't want to plunk down the $$ on a Kimber. Since I wouldn't plan on using it for self-defense (I'm too attached to my Glock for that role), even if the gun did jam on occasion it would make a good range toy.

You can find a used kimber for around 650 or so...

I found a nice one on THR for 650, offered the guy 600 and he declined.

My problem is that not many kimbers have a factory ambidextrous safety and i didn't feel like having to do any mods (other than grips)
