I owned four. Two went back to Kimber. Both came back with problems I still had to fix myself. Of the other two; the Custom TLE II was fine. The Custom CDP II worked, but barely. It fed with a very noticeable "ka-chunk" you could hear and feel, and any rounds that were chambered but not fired exhibited very noticeable setback. Every other brand I bought ran right out of the box. I quit reading all the gun mag ads; and faced reality. The one from my wife that I kept was made totally reliable by me, and the high stress MIM parts were replaced and fitted (by me) for a total cost of $135.00. For what they sell them for; they ought to come with decent parts, and be reliable. But as long as new buyers come along that believe the BS ads they read; Kimber will keep shoveling their poorly fitted, MIM filled crap out the door. But hey; they are pretty.

I have a Kimber TLE II. It works, period. I have a few thousand rounds thru it.
I have a DW VBOB. It's already been back for repairs. I have less than 50 rounds thru it. I carry my Kimber.
