For my first pistol I was thinking about getting a Kimber 1911 of some sort. I’ve heard good things about them, but what say you Jow Forums?

I gave it some thought and ended up getting a series 70 national match gold cup from colt. When it comes to 1911s I believe that to be a better choice. Old colts are limited where as new kimbers are everywhere. They’re fine firearms. For the money I’d rather have an old colt.
Nathaniel Morris
I have the exact firearm in your pic, and I've been very happy with it. Kimber had some QC issues in the past but their new guns are fine. Just don't shell out for their Gucci variants, they're not worth it.

How does that Swartz safety feel? Any issues with it? I've only ever owned Series 70 1911s before, but the Kimber entry level stuff has been intriguing me lately.
Oliver Ortiz
Nah fuddmaster, you're just upset about the inherent flaws in your favorite gun.
Grayson Thompson
sure
go buy what you want
dont let faggot here tell you different
Julian Reyes
Made in NY. Fuck NY. Kimber quality isn't so hot anymore. I have a Ruger 1911, completely satisfied.
Thomas Richardson
Not my favorite *firearm* I’ve just actually owned and shot a bunch of them with no feeding issues. Unlike you, who still has feeding issues suckling on the fat hairy teats on the gluttonous sow that shat you into this world
James Diaz
Okay truthfully I just wanted to say that. I’ve encountered lots of feeding issues with 1911s. Colt series 80s fucking SUCK. Auto ordinances fucking SUCK. Rock islands SUCK.
Kimbers usually work well tho and so do the series 70s. There are many many many fuck off models to stay away from which really does give the 1911 a bit of a deserved shit reputation today. Quality models usually don’t have issues.
Ryder Cox
If you are looking for a carry gun don’t get a 1911. They are too large to carry concealed.
Ryder Price
Series 70 has better parts availability.
Hudson Jenkins
>Kimber quality isn't so hot anymore.
Kimber quality hasn't been hot since the turn of the century, old timer.
>I have a Ruger 1911, completely satisfied.
Boomer confirmed.
Jonathan Johnson
The 80s are literally nightmares. Dealt with many of them and they just flat out don’t shoot
Oliver Moore
I love mine, it’s the gun I shoot the best and the fastest. Mine has been as reliable as my DW
Josiah Reed
Ruger is cast and Kimber is forged tho..
Samuel Brooks
Sig has some reasonably priced offerings that might be worth looking into for that price range. I've had zero issues with mine.
People have been concealed carrying 1911s for over a century. It's a big gun, but it's pretty slim. Not the best option, but it's certainly doable.
Kevin Hall
consider a dan wesson PM9 instead

made in india with MIM

The safety sucks, avoid it. It has to be tuned right and they often aren't. Kimber sucks, avoid them. Their parts are trash. Look at the guns that top pistsmiths will base custom guns on. Very few will work in a Kimber.
Gavin Price
I'll take a cast Ruger over a forged Kimber any day. Ruger knows how to cast. Caspians are also cast.
Jaxon Lopez
Not OP, but thought on Springfield Armory? I've been highly tempted by the mil-spec defender series they're selling right now.
Gabriel Young
SA are traitorous shits but they make a good 1911
Jaxson Stewart
Don't support companies that willing sell out your rights to improve their bottom line.
Ryder Martinez
What'd they do?
Gabriel Gomez
I don't support Springfield. Their 1911s sort of suck too. Half the time they can't even get the flats flat.
Brayden Young
If you're going to pay 1200-1800 dollars for a 1911 buy a Dan Wesson.
Angel Robinson
They and Rock River Arms tried to push a bill in Illinois that would make it significantly harder to sell firearms that weren't manufactured in the state. Surprising no one, Springfield Armory Inc and Rock River Arms manufacture firearms in the state of Illinois.
Charles Williams
Agree on that. Or a Colt series 70 if you can find one that has the frame mods you want. The only ones I like right now in their catalog are the WC models, but sometimes they put out special runs that aren't in the catalog.
Isaiah Baker
That's pretty fucked. Damn. But I could've sworn I read that their 1911 parts were forged in Brazil plus their XD's are Croat. Seems counter-intuitive. But yeah, kind of hard to support of company to pull off some bullshit like that.
Brayden Thomas
I made a slight mistake; the legislation specifically exempted members of the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association, of which Springfield and Rock River are the largest members. Presumably Springfield's foreign-made guns would have been exempt as well.

Just got mine. We're going on a break in trip to the range this week. Bought 2 Wilson Combat and 2 Kimpro TacMags and I'm going to test them all too. We'll see how it goes. It's easily the most aesthetic handgun I've ever owned.
Chase Brooks
That looks like garbage senpai.
SA is good to go just make sure you buy second hand so you don't support anti 2A companies.
