I get that Kimber spends a lot more money on advertising than building great 1911s.
I have observed and been personally burned by their QC issues.
I have made many rude comments about both points.
I bought a K6S.
My (overly dramatic) post point is: are these issues keeping us from the best little revolver going?
If you compare the specification sheets there is a clear winner here between the SP101/340 Pro/Cobra/K6S choices.
I believe there is much more to that choice than just dimensions and features though.
So, looking for guidance, I find the Lucky Gunner review. It pointed out just two negatives . An essentially cosmetic flaw and poor accuracy with 135 Gold Dot ammo. Both of which could be an early "sample of one" issue. The article ended with a bit of a "meh" tone. I've found few other RESPECTED sources saying much at all.
What is everyone not seeing or saying about this revolver that should be at the top of the heap? My sample is nicely finished with a fine DAO trigger, I particularly like the reset. So far, one abbreviated range session. What am I missing here? Is there a metallurgy or long term reliability issue lurking that no one mentions? That seems unlikely as the piece has been around a few years now. Is the accuracy uniformly poor? My short time with it didn't get beyond 10 yards and I had no 135 Gold Dot with me anyway.
What an I missing here?
