You should read my article, Kimber Handgun Buyers Beware before you go to the range.

Thanks,that was a very good article. I need to ask the guy I got it from how many rounds he fired thru her. I would expect that is wasn't very many..

I shot the Kimber arbout 30 times today with no jams. That was after I completely took it apart and cleaned it. It was very dirty. The laser sight is shooting around 4 inches low, but the adjustment wrench is missing. It is a very small allen wrench, I will either call Crimson Trace and get some or go see Sears. I think the web says it is a .028" wrench. But, I am almost satisfied that is is shooting well. I will take it to the range next week and really put it through its paces to see if it has a problem. I have been told that if the external extractor is the problem Kimber will change the slide out to one with internal extractors.

I have wanted a 1911 for a while and a friend had this one. It is a Kimber Eclipse Target II with Crimson Laser grips. He was having trouble with it jamming and just wanted to sell it. I will shoot it enough this weekend to figure out the problem.
