I have handled many Kimbers and I am NOT impressed by them at all. Last week, I took a Brand new stainless commander length TLE-RL out of the box and put it on the shelf. Later that same day, a customer decided that he NEEDED to have this pistol. Upon closer inspection, the magazine release jammed halfway open and wouldn't allow a magazine to fully seat, and the barrel had several significant spots of Heavy rust/scale on it. On a Springfield Mil spec, I might could let these things slide, but NOT on an $1100 brand new just-out-of-the-box pistol. Neither the customer nor myself were pleased.

Just my .02
Air,

That is BS, you guys should send it back to Kimber. I have NEVER heard of a Kimber coming from the factory in that condition. When you put the weapon on the shelf did you pull it out of a blue bag? If not then that is why it had rust spots.
