I've heard some horror stories about reliability/FTE's in semi-recent Kimbers, but it seems the new ones are OK. Just something to keep in mind. I would have a private seller meet you at a local range/shop if you go that route so you can have a smith give it a once over and put a few rounds down before dropping the $$$. I did this with a Para Warthog I was interested in several months back and saved myself a lot of grief. In the 50 rds I fired, it failed to extract 4 times. Obviously, I passed. It's easy for an amateur who thinks he knows his way around to royally screw up a good gun.
