I would love to hear the reasons… the current situation is there are several budget makers of the 1911 and the owners have good things to say about themI ended up getting the Kimber Eclipse. I'm hoping to take it out this week coming to try it out. I believe that it's from 2017, at least it matches the one in the 2017 Kimber catalog. I'll try to take pictures this weekend. The Raptor 2 I have shoots really good and never had a problem with it.
BS. The Kimber Swarts safety is the stupidest things to ever be produced. Trash.I Traded. I like Kimbers, never had a problem with them.
I have several 1911's. 3 Kimbers, Colt 1911 Chateau Thierry, Tisa 1911A1, Springfield Armory Garrison.
It seems there's alot of people that have problems with 1911's. The main source of problems can be traced to magazines, limp wrist, etc. Also the 1911 is difficult for alot of people to master. I've had dozens of 1911's over the years and 50+ years experience with them.
My Custom Target II does not have that Swartz safety. Evidently, some lawyer influenced the makers of Kimber to include that in some models.I'm assuming my Custom 2 doesn't have that kind of safety but it's over 10 years old, no clue what that safety even is
