Five or six years ago I picked up a Kimber "pre-Series II" (technically there was never a "Series I") 4" compact stainless made in '97 or '98 and it's as solid as a rock. That is one of a very few that can claim to be part of THE collection.... the collection that my grandson is waiting like a starving vulture to inherit. My son, like quite a few others about the same time, bought a basic "Custom II" a couple of years ago and had some minor problems....after a bit of research and inspection, he realized that Kimber had a few "out of spec" slide lock levers and took a fine file to it (the lever - not the gun) and made it 100% reliable. Kimber would have sent him the part for free, but he was on a "mission". The next weekend he detail stripped it and made a nice neat pile of parts, then worked his way through re-assembly. Before the weekend was over, he and his son (my grandson - the starving vulture) were detail stripping and re-assembling it in about 30 minutes just for fun.

What's that got to do with the original question? Idunno....I'm getting old...I ramble
