Not just capacity, but in the case of Kimber and some others RELIABILITY. As per some you take part of a statement out of context and answer only the one part. And yes, I can back up reliability problems in Kimbers. As to this statement from .45ACP
"What untrustworthy junk are you referring to? Other than a few individual pistol problems Kimber makes a quality firearm. Just for a little clarification most Kimbers go for 800 to 1200. There may be a reason they are double the price of your ZD45 (Whatever in the hell that is)."
Ever heard of a typo?? Mr. Perfect?? Yeah the reason a Kimber is twice the cost of a Springfield Armory XD45 is the name. Like when I was breeding horses, the cowboys always told me they don't ride the papers. A good weapon is a good one, a bad one is just that also.
And YEAH, I'm still sayin' it. I've put thousands of rounds downrange from M1911A1's. Carried one for 25 years US Army, in the Tank Corps. I know a good piece when I squeeze em off, and a Kimber just ISN'T. I was not badmouthing M1911's in whole, just Kimbers. You could give me one, then I'd take it and trade it in without ever opening the box and trade it for 2 XD45's, Steve.
Not to be unkind, but you still ramble on with unsubstantiated statements. I took nothing out of context regarding your statements, nor did I consider your comments to be against 1911’s in general. Your comment “Untrustworthy Junk” regarding Kimbers did give me pause and when called on it you provided more anecdotal opinion not fact.
Yea, I have heard of a typo, but in my defense I thought you owned a ZD45, I do not keep up with the flavor of the month in firearms…..Sorry. I have read good things about the XD45 but nothing that would lead me to think they any more reliable than any number of pistols on the market..not just Kimbers. Just for edification, I own just 1 Kimber, so don’t think I’m Kimber fan boy.
So at the end, You’re still just stating opinion, not fact backed up by evidence.
