How dare you talk bad about glock perfection Andy!! from all your post I though for sure you where a glock man all the wayI don't understand the need , desire , or whatever...for trash talking a firearm or a person's choice of firearms.
I don't like Glock pistols....for many reasons.
However...all of those reasons only really matter and are only important to.....me.
So at the end of the day...who cares...?
If someone likes KImber Pistols...then good for them...then same if someone doesn't like 'em.

I'm suspicious anymore of low post count, non supporting members, who come in asking silly redundant questions, not doing their due diligence prior, then dropping off the planet. Seems like we might learn not to take too seriously, what seems like a child from the left playing in the forbidden field. Assault Rifle from San Francisco? HmmmDiscuss...

That they have a "custom shop".What did they falsely advertise?
^^^ YesMy feeling is the bad reputation comes from people who don't have one in their safe, likely never shot one, to validate that what they have in their safe, what they chose, is the best. Sort of like buying a Ford truck, and then saying that Chevy sucks to justify your decision as being well founded.
I have two that from day one have ran like sewing machines, on multiple brands of ammo without a hiccup.

Why do Kimber 1911s have such a bad reputation?
Did you come across a random internet website page from 2004, perhaps?
The company went through a span of two or three years where it experimented with an external extractor on its 1911s that suffered occasional issues; around the same time, the factory quality control suffered a bit and a slightly higher than average number of lemons left Yonkers. At the time, Kimber's customer service department, apparently largely understaffed and untrained, pooped the bed.
Then there was the boom in internet gun forums and Kimber-bashing became de rigueur. Colt's QC was little better and it was under bad management during that period and Springfield Armory was the reigning internet darling production1911 (we didn't have any other options at the time).
Any hint of a "bad reputation" that remains is pretty much a bunch of sourpusses that believe everything they read on the internet and just can't move on.
I've owned seven excellent Kimbers, never had an issue with any (can't say that about my beloved Colts, my normally worthy Springfields or, alas, my otherwise favorite Dan Wesson).
Can we please just all move on and remember that the primary function of internet gun forums is for our own bias confirmation?
I eagerly await the OP's next question, in which he asks, "Why do Taurus handguns have such a bad reputation?"
Geez, I can't believe I actually spent time typing out this response to someone who calls themself "Assault Rifle," just joined the forum today... and claims San Francisco as his location. I must be bored.
Stop nuking it. Remember, the smoke detector isn't a timer. The popcorn is done WAY before that alarm goes off!I'm getting burned out on popcorn!
If it's in .45 ACP (and not the wussy 9mm), bless you, my son!
