New ones are over priced. I would stick with the series 70 style models. So either older series 1 guns or the various Warrior models.
With regard to the series 1 guns the collectors all seem to want the early Montana made guns strictly for the markings, the Yonkers New York marked series 1 guns are just as good in every practical and mechanical respect.
If you’re okay with one that shows honest where instead of having intrigued like a Faberge egg you can still find one at reasonable prices.
Expect to do some tuning, fitting or a parts swapping and do not rely on Kimber.
