I was talking to a dealer today about the new Kimber Rapide Black Ice. He said the new Kimber's are not as well made as the older ones. He said he wouldn't hesitate to buy an older model, but the new ones...not so much. Anybody have any experience with a recently manufactured Kimber?
In the words of facebunk, without context .........
What is an older model?
Pistols made in Yonkers?
Pistols made in Yonkers, pre shut down?
In Yonkers before employees found out they were losing their jobs?
Who remembers the quality of 1968-69 HDs compared to 1970+
Pistols made in Alabama?
I have a Kimber Ultra Covert II 45ACP. Very nicely made, and capable of accuracy greater than I am capable of.
Fit and finish is excellent and being a 1911 style, it just fits.
Only negative is the take down procedure. You do not want to pull the slide without reading the directions.
Not as difficult as the Ruger Mark III 22 but can be challenging done wrong.
