A friend of a friend was selling to fund his gun club membership. My friend told me about the deal and I told him he should buy it for that price. He was short on funds so I said I'd buy it if he wasn't going to. The day I picked it up, I told my friend again he should buy it but he passed. They owner actually bought the pistol used from a gun store that his wife worked at for $450 a few years ago (I have the receipt to prove it). He said he was selling it for pretty much what he put into it, except he had added the night sights.
I've shot Federal/UMC/WWB and range reloads through it and it's never choked (after I had changed out the recoil spring and used new magazines). I understand though not wanting to buy a Kimber just for the name. I think Springfields are great and their warranty is awesome. I've had to send back the EMP once and it was back in my hands promptly and I was refunded my costs to ship to them.

You'd probably change your tune if you had a Kimber All kidding aside, I like Springfield too. I own an XD and an EMP. I wouldn't go out and buy a Kimber, this one just fell into my lap.eyesopened wrote:You got a good price, which is very rare. Bet you didn't buy it at a gun store? And you know hat I meant by garbage, cheap ammo. No matter, I'll still take my Springfield over anything that Kimber puts out.KansasMustang wrote:I got mine for $450 with night sights and 5 magazines. I didn't think I paid too much... My gun gets fed ammo, not garbage. It is not a flux capacitor. Bullets from it do fly over 88mph, but they do not travel back in time as far as I knowNo matter, still wouldn't own one their priced too high and won't eat garbage like my Sringfield. Have yet to have a failure to feed or extract, after 2000 rounds.
