i bought one used "unfired" LNIB at Gander Mountain a week after xmas 2012 for $600!!! I could not believe I saw it let alone got for $600 (plus tax). I have shot it and it is softer shooting more so than my ex-Browning BDA .380 and Browning 1910. The only thing I don't like is the front site is hard to see. Has anyone painted site or have any suggestions on what to do? Sorry, I may post that separately but you got a nice gun. If you did not need that 1911 and got what you wanted then I say its a good deal. I'm not Kimber fan other than looks.
