Older Kimbers are the ticket
I've had 100% success with pre-Series II Kimbers. My first one, a Classic Stainless, shot (and shoots - still my every day carry piece) like a match gun. 1" groups at 25 yards with more than one load. Love that gun.
If I can find decent deals on the earlier guns, I snap them up if they are configurations I want. I tend to stay away from all Series II Kimbers unless they are so cheap they are worth the gamble.
