That is a beautiful gun. I sure like the sights better than those
on either the Kimber or the Ruger.
Good catch.



On one of those many days when you have nothing to do, check out
youtube
and search on "Problems with Kimbers" Considering it is a relatively
expensive but low volume line of production pistols, the high
number of
serious problems is...startling.

Odd, I had a Kimber 45 and shot over 1000 rds through it and with
normal maintenance (cleaning and lube) I had absolutely no problems
whatsoever. amazing..

You can find problems with anything if you want to look


Yeah, I had a jeep for a while and didn't have any serious issues with
it, but it has a well-earned rep as one of the worst lines of vehicles
ever.

Well, did you put 'problem with cz' in google search? Startling, eh?


My reference was to actual problems with Kimber firearms documented
and demonstrated on youtube with videos. There are many of
them...hundreds, maybe, perhaps thousands. I only found a few there
with CZ firearms. Your google search is a canard. If you look up
"herring homosexuality" on google, you'll get 720,000 hits. Have a
nice day.

I don't recall which Kimber you own but here is one replacement for the
front sight on the Ruger:

Apparently that one's for the older SR1911's (from reading the reviews). I'm surprised there are no
dimensions given.

I put a dot of this: http://tinyurl.com/z9np3zn on the front sight of the Heritage .22 revolver.
What a difference that made! Might do the same to the Kimber before going to the gunsmith. Hell, the
damn thing works pretty good now if there's some light.

I didn't know they made a change and it's hard to tell what those
changes are. I'm sure my full-size is the older version but my
commander is most likely the new style.

I'm calling my gunsmith tomorrow to see if these will fit the Kimber. If he says yes, I'm going for
them.
