Wow, there is just no way in hell i could spend $1,900 on a KIMBER...IMO kimbers don't and can't command that kind of price. They are 800-1200 guns IMO. Granted i have not seen this one in person, so it may be heads and shoulders above the rest of em' but ive never found a kimber clean enough and tight enough to see that much money.

This is supposed to be Kimber's top of the line. The one I saw at the pawn shop was tight - no looseness or slop of any kind. Checkering was crisp.

IMO Able's is pretty over priced on everything. There shop is right down the street from me, and I have yet to see a good deal on anything from them.

Shot a bunch of Dcortez's Kimbers, they are nice, shoot great, but for ME the pricetag is crazy.

Great guns, but out of my price range.

This is not your average Kimber, this is by all intensive purposes a custom built gun. They have about a 3# crisp trigger and excellent slide to frame fit. They are nothing like the factory Kimbers you see for $700 - 1100.

They are not worth the new price tag, but a low count Super Match is worth $1200 all day.

Comparable guns would be the Les Baer, STI, etc.

IF the pawn shp has it for $1200, they probably have $500 in it. See if they will let it go for $1000.

Aint that the truth. They are asking 12, i would fight for 8-900 unless for some reason you REALLY can't live without it.

And thats totally fine and cool. I was speaking for myself, i could not spend more than that on a KIMBER. For that price tag, call me a gun snob but the gun is going to have a name behind it that mean's something.

Kimbers are the Glocks of 1911's Trendy and people know that name without knowing 1911's

Once again, my opinion.
