You can’t pick up a gun magazine without seeing advertisements for Kimber’s pistols on every third page or so. They certainly look debonair in print. In the hand, they feel wonderful, what with all the judiciously sloped edges and modern touches. It’s obvious that they place a great priority on the idea of the gun as art.
That’s fine. There’s certainly a place for that. Unfortunately, Kimber’s production practices fall woefully short when it comes to the idea of the gun as a functional weapon.
