A lot of guys get all wrapped around the axle when it comes to Internet heresay. My theory (not that it means much) is that unless I see it first hand, I tend to take it with a grain of salt unless i know the persons directly giving the information. For example; I used to shoot Kimber 1911's, my early Kimber 1 was a great gun. I sold it to a friend and ended up with one of the LAPD SWAT models. Problems ensued and I deemed it unfit for my uses and the pistol was sold off as a fun gun to a relative. Fast forward a few years; I was in a 2 day advanced pistol course and witnessed 2 separate high dollar Kimber pistols go down with multiple issues. Combine that first hand experience with, information from guys I know that have shared issues (to include a handful of very experienced Operators) and DOCUMENTED evidence from various LEO agencies is enough evidence for me to never bother with them. That's me, others may have a different view.
