how to tell if i have series 1 kimber

Nobody here hates Kimbers. We've just mentioned some experiences and some issues that we've noticed with many of them, and mostly with the small parts. Most of'em do well. If the problems were widespread, Kimber's doors would have been closed a long time ago...but that doesn't mean that there haven't been several issues along the way.

I, for one, hope that they get themselves a good small parts vendor and bring their guns back to the level that they once were. Kimber markets a nice pistol for the money, and the ones I've handled are more accurate than I could ever prove.

I have a TLE/RL with over 2000 rounds through it. Been reliable and accurate and I carry it often. I've had it for a few years, no experience with the new models. I would buy another one.
