like i posted earlier, tons of problems with kimber in general. it's totally hit or miss, as some guys end up with a great firearm while others are stuck with a weapon that needs constant tuning. from what i hear, they do a good job fixing problems but if you are paying well over $1000 that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place. definitely go with the wilson mags, they are the best in the business by far. another issue with 1911's is that they generally need a "break in" period to work properly. now, there is no set # of rounds, but most guys seem to have to fire at least a few hundred before they work as advertised. again, a real pain in the ass when you are shelling out alot more money than you would be for a glock, which work basically without a hiccup right out of the box!
