Deadly Matter]I don't disagree that Kimber turns out some pretty guns. But the one year warranty behind their pistols doesn't speak of a very solid commitment to durability and quality. Had a buddy with one about 8 years old and the hammer on it snapped off.
Springfield, Sig, Colt, and some others at least back theirs with lifetime.
Havent had any issues, nor have any of the other owners I know. But my springfields site broke and springfield doesnt even have the part anymore. had to go digging online and pay $65.
