Anyone dislike Kimber?

I agree about the glock. I have had mine for three years and have only had two malfunctions, both of which occured after about 500 rounds without cleaning it.

I want a gun that is more easily concealed than my G22, and quite frankly I want one that looks good as well. Any suggestions?

Glock 27

If its concealed, why worry about its looks?

When time comes for it to see daylight, I doubt anyone is keeping track of 'style'...

My wife asks me the same thing. I love the glock, but it is just plain. I love the looks of stainless guns and have always wanted one. While I am carrying, it won't matter, but when I am at the range or shooting on my parents land, it would be nice to have a good looking gun.

Not to mention the fact that I can't leave anything stock and its hard to customize Glocks. It has night sights, but nothing else. I want something that I can pour money into for no apparent reason, because that is what all of the rest of my hobbies end up as anyway.

I carry my G23 IWB daily, and it's OD GREEN

If you want to dump money into a Glock...

If you want to change the look of the gun, well get some paint from Brownell's and paint it.

As soon as it got back from the shop, I traded it for a REAL gun... a GLOCK (it goes bang everytime I ask it to, maintanence cost has been zero, and its never fallen apart!).

If that gun shed it's slide with a sheared safety, there was something else amiss

Sounds like you got a dud, and it happens. It happens with Glocks too. I've fixed 'em and sent 'em back aplenty.

Yeah... I know it happens, but it shouldn't happen with a $1200 gun. It just left a REAL bad taste in my mouth. I do regret trading away my Colt Commander with that Kimber though, it left me with No-1911-itis. They are fun to tinker with, but I'd never carry one over a Glock.

As far as the safety and slide issue, I don't know what the exact sequence of the fall apart was, but my exact response was "WTF?!?!?!"

**MacLean** · 10-09-08, 10:03 PM

Had to be a sheared slide stop, which would then shear the safety.

I'd carry my 1911 over my Glock, although I am not currently permitted to on duty.

It'll go bang as many times in a row as the Glock 22 will - but I realize they aren't all that way.

I have had both and shot both to the tune of a zillion rounds. If I have a choice, I carry the 1911.....cause I can shoot it so much better and cause it looks....BITCHIN!
