Least favorite gun

.Looseness doesn't tighten..

This is why the Jesus invented the vice and hammers.. so they tell me.

I guess I should have said "on it's own". Or "by shooting".

.44 mag S&W Scandium
THE most uncomfortable revolver I've ever shot.

My in-depth review :
Absolute garbage for target shooting, OK for bear medicine.

Amen on that! When I was still guiding in Alaska another guide friend bought one of the first ones available. (Model 329?)

He showed it to me and I immediately thought "Gotta have one!" Then I shot it and decided different.

I don't like Kimber because they took jobs away from Oregonians. They abandoned us, so we should abandon them.
Otherwise I can't say what's what about them.
What I can say, is that the SAW is a great way to get the fat kid to carry the squads' amo for them.

Worst gun I ever shot was a marlin semi auto .22lr... and it was still a bunch of fun! I guess I only have experience with good firearms. lol

Ruger Mk III .22/45 Target Model. Shoots ok but so hard to reassemble after cleaning that it's now a safe queen.

I like shooting and I'll shoot any gun that I get a chance to.
That said I really don't care for the various models of modern "in-line" muzzle loaders.

I agree 100%.
No offense to those that use 'em, but for me if I'm shooting a smoke pole, it should be a smoke pole. The inline stuff feels like cheating to me. If I want all the advantages of a modern firearm then that's what I'll shoot.

 

[Tully Mars]

i second that. i wouldnt buy one anyway at that price. waste of money IMO

Yup I would rather take a good 'ol fashioned Louisville slugger and Mark McGwire a baddie's @ss than take a Jennings into a confrontation..

Where did they take the jobs?

I have only owned one Kimber and it has been a very good experience. But, my 1911 was purchased from a leo in Oregon City that used it for his off duty carry. Their department armorer specialized in 1911s and he went through it and replaced any mim parts and worked the trigger. He had put around 3000 rounds through it and I have put around 3000 or so rounds through it. The pistol feels better than new to me, and shows almost zero signs of wear. He purchased a Colt Defender and his wife made him sell some guns.

I did have a small issue with the slide not locking back when I first purchased it. I contacted the seller and he said he switched the slide stop before I picked it up and he was sorry about that. He sent me the Colt stop that was in it and an extra. Great guy to deal with. No issues since.

Even though I'm happy with my 1911, and it's my pistol I shoot with the best accuracy, I still only have one Kimber . Looked at the micro 9, read reviews, warranty, customer service and all. Then decided to go with the Sig p938.

I hope they do well , but these days firearms cannot be hit and miss. And if it's a miss they dam sure better get it fixed ASAP.

M16A1 Carried in Vietnam. Had to bore a hole in the front stock to slide a cleaning rod into. Kept it flush to butt stock with a blousing rubber. Nothing worst then having to clear a stuck case out of the chamber while the other side is joyously blasting away at you with their AK's and SKS's. Left a bad taste for AR's ever since.

i know where youre coming from when a pistol feels better than new after 1000s of rounds. seems like any and all rough edges are now worked out and the gun just feels "seasoned." to me, this holds true to my rifles too.

Worse gun I ever owned/shot was a mid 80's Oly Arms CAR with a 16" barrel and the H Bar sights. I ordered it after taking a tour of their shop. Thing never did cycle correctly even after being returned twice and then sent to my local gunsmith a couple of more times. Put the upper on a colt and bushmaster lower and it ran great.
One day I got so pissed at it that when I got home from the range I completely stripped the lower then took my torch with the rosebud and melted the lower into a kinda round blob. I've used it for a paper weight ever since. You won't get me within 5 miles of anything from Oly ever again.

if you really want to stir the pot you can argue a cocked and unlocked 1911 is safer than a glock.

You could, but that would be plain stupid.

 

[Mephistopheles]

M60 was a GREAT weapon. Weakest point on them was the bolt retaining pin. In an emergency the metal ring on the web gear suspenders was the perfect diameter to fit the hole. Trimmed to the right length it was as good as the original. Seen it done.

Kinda hard to rationalize this when we ALL own guns that have most likely never been made in Oregon and possibly other countries. Personally I have never owned a Kimber but with all the less expensive stuff (and as good or maybe better) I don't see Kimber as a preeminent 'player' anymore.

Feel free to start a new thread, I dont mind debating it...
Its just my opinion but those trigger safeties are almost worthless...

M60 was a GREAT weapon.

The MG42/3/58, from which it was [poorly] copied, was, and is, a far better weapon in every respect. Many more of them in use in NATO and other non-NATO Western armed forces than the M60.

Yeah, All Kimbers are made on America so I dont see a big deal about exactly where they are made.

After trying one out I was impressed it was one of the best shooting 1911s in my limited experience. Having never shot it befor I dumped 3 mags from it and it held a better group than a Springfield and every bit as tight a group and smooth trigger as a new Dan Wesson but a couple hundred less dollars. I was impressed.

Me, I'd buy ANY Kimber .45 semi-auto pistol.

If I could.

Not debating which was best. This was what we had and it pulled our rears out of the wringer several times. The RPD was a better gun, but we didn't have it, they did.
