The new 1911s from Kimber build on a legacy of improvements to a storied design.

Played with one more than once. Feels real good, I want one bad! I wish they made it in full Kimpro black like my Rapide. Maybe I'll get lucky on the used market with a two-tone in .45acp.

Not your fault but gave up on trying to read all the darn pop ups.

It suprised me they went with an external extractor

Hopefully they get back to making quality 1911’s like whem the came out in 1997

Yea, pop ups are annoying, they went with it like the S&W 1911’s which at one time Kimber made the S&W slides and frames

They've made the external extractor models before.
My first Kimber I bought way way back in the 90's says Clackamas Oregon damn fine piece of machinery.
My Rapide is another fine machine in 10mm. It will stack them right on top of each other. I picked it up about two years after they moved to Alabama, unfortunately it has Yonkers NY stamped in the frame ... I really wanted it to say Alabama

Very interesting…
I see a lot I think I like, and a few things I don’t like.

Funny, but I don’t believe I’ve ever shot a Kimber before…

I like the brushed finish and the visual upgrades. The roll mark "stainless" is unnecessary. They call the grip a bobtail but without a peak at the rear it's a round butt. Either way it's a nice touch which some will like (me) and others will not appreciate.

Backwards. Smith and Wesson made Kimbers, not the other way around. Kimber does not have the massive forges that S&W does. Smith does a lot of work for other companies. Just like Ruger does all manner of castings from golf clubs to firearms.

I haven't touched a Kimber since Ron Cohen did his best to destroy the company. After the Warne's were gone, quality took a dump.
