I'm thinking real serious about picking it up, so does anybody have any direct personal experience with Kimbers? Supposedly Kimber has made all the extractors internal, which I have heard was a problem in the past.
I'm in NJ, where CC is damn near impossible to get, so I'm specifically looking at the 5". Didn't seem to be a bad price, well under $800, and I'm not looking at starting a big pistol collection.

Yep owned three of them, not one was reliable. Their customer service sucks, at least it used to. Remember also that there is nothing Custom, about a Kimber Custom, except the branded name.
The worst part was trying to get a smith to help me out getting them reliable before I put them up for sale. I just kept getting reply's like..... its a Kimber, then a chuckle, then ........good luck with that!
Sorry but you asked.
Also, in USPSA some new shooters show up with a Kimber, they always find out quickly how they run and then we see them come back the next week with something solid.
