Kimber pistols

I will just leave this here then.... Fully dehumidified safe, every single other gun in there was 100% fine even the 1955 Colt Woodsman Target model in carbon steel. Kimber is the 1911 for people who know nothing about 1911's. They are proof positive pretty guns and lots of advertising works extremely well. Do your research and get a better 1911 folks.

Thats funny, I have a stainless custom, been in my safe for years with no marks. Maybe you need a better safe...?

Based on his description it doesn't sound like it was an issue with the safe. There certainly could have been other factors but it's very possible it could have been an issue with the gun. Maybe just maybe Kimber screwed this one up.

I have had a Kimber Tactical Ultra ii that is stored in a closet for 7-8 years and no rust on it.

I'll keep my Kimbers. I will buy yours since you don't like them, say $300??

I don't doubt it. I think if it where a rampant issue with Kimber it would be widely known by now. But it certainly doesn't mean that he didn't get a bad one.

Ah, a fanboy. No manufacturer is flawless.

LAPD Swat carries, or did until recently, Kimber 1911s.

This is not the 1st one I have seen do this.

I have owned more than a few Kimbers. I would like to have the 1st one back. It was the real deal. The rest were pretty. They did shoot. Except the Custom Carry II. It was rife with feed issues. The guns were not fit up well. The Metallurgy was not there for the price point. They were clunky and just not that fun to shoot.
I fixed the issues and they moved on to new owners. Hard to fix the clunkey part.

I like Chevy's...he likes Fords. If you like your Kimbers I hope they give you a lifetime of service.
I will never own another one.
