[Flesh Thorn]

Any reason that a Kimber Custom II, .45 ACP, new in box is not worth $599 ? :D

It's not a Glock?

NONE. Look on line and you will see.

That's a good price... but, then you have to sleep at night, with the fact that you own a Kimber.

I may be riding down the road at 3 Pm to purchase if I am not too late.

There are GEO metro's (glocks) that are reliable, relatively inexpensive, and just like everyone elses. Then there are Corvette ZR3's (Kimbers, Wilsons, etc.) that are reliable, expensive, and say I am not like everybody else. I carried issue glocks for so many years I almost started growing wool, now I can carry whatever I buy, I have Kimbers (3).

Torture tested middle class Glocks that go 250k rounds without a hiccup vs yuppie 1911's that constantly jam........

To each his own ol crusty one!

Isn't your gun named after a beat up Ford car?

I paid 700 for mine

I think it's only worth about $299...I'll give you $300 for it, just cause I'm a nice guy!!!

Synthetic or leather? I got a bladetech for mine that's pretty good.

You sure don't have to guess where the round is going to hit. Shooting a fist size group at 15 paces is almost too easy. These things are machined real tight. I was starting to worry as I was getting mis-feeds on the first box of CCI Blazers. The round would chamber about half way and stop. A little nudge on the back of the slide and it would go home. You can see where the case is hanging up on the edge of the chamber. I am almost finished with my second box and the mis-feeds are getting fewer. I hope the break in process fixes this issue. :? Maybe I should lube it with valve grinding compound.

If you bought it second hand (sounds like it at that price), It could also be a worn spring...even with very few rounds...if the previous owner didn't know what they were doing, it could be compressed(I had a 10mm with the same problem...replaced the springs and it was good to go...)....I think you are right to run a couple more boxes through it first, spring second, file 3rd...

The Rifler file can be your very best friend (but be gentle...you can also screw up a really nice gun in a hurry--you can always take more off...kinda hard to put it back on)...
