@benny13666 That has nothing to do with it. Plastic Mainspring Housings, MIM internal parts... those are arguable/questionable parts... but not the frame.
We build APC's, Jet Fighters, and Baseball Bats out of Aluminum.
@MadOgre actually baseball bats are composite, jets are AIR CRAFT grade alluminum, and apc's and tanks are made of hardened steel and reactive armor. thank you very muchh
@Brettscoots11 You are not as smart as you think. Bats, The M2/M3 Bradley and the M113 - which are APC's are Aluminum. And Aircraft Grade Aluminum... that's also Aluminum. Idiot.
@benny13666 Are you out of your fucking mind?!?! Calling Kimbers pieces of shit?!?! If they were pieces of shit, they wouldn't cost more than 2 grand! Man, what the fuck is your problem?!?! Do you even know what is the meaning of "firearm"?!?! I hope so, but if you don't, I won't be surprised! Damn! Every time I look at that stupid comment, my vains appear!
I'd say if you're going to buy a Kimber for $2000+, save your money and get a Les Baer. For around $1000, Springfield or Colt does the job for me.
If you're going to spend over $2000 on a 1911, you probably are looking for accuracy above all else in which I'd suggest just get a Les Baer or a Nighthawk or something.
Even the Dan Wesson 1911s, which I believe are in the same price range as the high-end Springfields (~$1000) are great 1911s compared to Kimber, Springfield or Colt.
Kimber is a great gun, don't get me wrong, but the one thing that just plain drives me away from them is the price.
For what you pay for a TLE II, I went out and bought a TRP Operator. My only knock on the TRP Operator is that the grips aren't that comfortable compared to my 1911A1 Loaded Springfield with the wooden cross-cannon grips.
Kimber would sell a hell of a lot better if their pistols were priced more competitively.
And the three Colts I have... My Series 70 Government Model I purchased used for $650 and cleaned it up a little bit, my Series 70 Commander I bought new for $850. And my 1942 Colt M1911A1 have ALL gone up in value. I have to say it's the best investment I've ever made. Then again, that's kind of what Colts are - an investment gun.
I have that in the ultra carry I love it , jams sometimes but does fine when I shoot premium ammo so its not the gun just cheat CCI blazers and ... if you have the 3 inch one like me don't shoot 230gr there the only ones its ever jammed on me .
I have the tactical 2 and the tactical 2 in the ultra frame. i love them i usuallt edc the ultra but sometimes when im feeling froggy i edc the full size. great guns!
I purchased a Kimber TLE 2 (Tactical Law Enforcement 2) for sale for around 6$50. It is around 850-1k new. It comes with all the great feutures of some of the best Kimber models before and after it. It has really finecheckering on the grip both front and back, that fits perfectly for a 1911 shooter. It has all the "bells and whistles" mins theambi-safety. Match Grade everying, forged steel. Very excelent.Very very accurate. oh yeah, tritium night sights. It would be a hard CCW though, full size.
YOU ASSHOLE, i want a deal like that to come around for me!! i paid the full $1,010 for my royal II but i really like blued steel guns, an i think the royal is the only blued steel kimber, but i wouldn;t mind havin an alumi also for carry cuz this baby's heavy
Heh, if y'all knew me you would know this is the first break I've gotton in a long time. If it makes you feel any better I had to shoot someone to death 3 times with it almost immediatly after buying it, then my friend died then I got cancer. So getting this gun has been the best deal I've had in years. :P, and it was used, still a used Kimber is better then most. It shoots like a dream, still tight as a virgin hah.
Hey Im shopping around for a Kimber and looking at the tactical custom and SIS, I like the tactical more, but Ive heard that the finish isnt that great and tends to rub off faster? Any help?
Yeah I will agree some wear is good, it gives it character! I just wanted to make sure its not more than normal. Now the hunt is on for a Kimber Tactical Custom HD II...
I had an HK tactical, didnt really fit well in my hands, kinda large. The Kimber warrior is something im now interested in, think that has a more hand friendly shape?
If i had penny for every pixel on this video I would have one cent...

Not really... The blue will wear naturally but not more than anything else really. Some wear looks good... shows that your not a Noob.
Trucks should have a little mud on them, blue jeans should be faded, and pistols should look like they know how to be used.
