What's up with 05ers and months old news this week?

Ugly. They would have been better off making their own take on the hi point.

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:03:39 PM EDT

I'm aware of them, but I have yet to see one in the wild.

I like that they take 6 rounds instead of the traditional 5.. and they look really sweet.

I've considered picking one up... but a little too nice for what I use my airweights for.

That has to be the ugliest trigger guard on a revolver I've ever seen.

I wonder if it takes 500 rounds to "break them in".

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:06:24 PM EDT

[#7]

I've seen one, handled it, walked away.

Overpriced for what it is.

They're nice, but definitely not worth the price point.

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:07:31 PM EDT

[#9]

I've seen one and only one. Price was close to a grand as I recall.

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:08:01 PM EDT

[#10]

We've had a few come through.

IMO gayer than cum on a mustache

"Kimber firearms are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of the original retail purchase as new merchandise."

I'll stick with my S&W Lifetime warranty.

I've seen a few sitting in the glass case at my shop, but couldn't summon the interest to ask to see one.

Kimber and revolvers go together like herpes and scabies.

I have no idea.

I did not buy one.

I bet Kimber has a website with that information if you Google it.

I'll take the new Cobra, please.

I could have gone the rest of my life without that little mental image. Thanks a bunch.

I would never spend that kind of money on a small revolver, even if it was made of gold.

Now the Micro 9mm they advertise on their site for $790.00, yes I would do that.

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:19:18 PM EDT

[#19]

Get back to me when they build a .38 spell. version.

Posted: 2/24/2017 12:19:22 PM EDT

[#20]

I got excited for a moment until I saw what they actually look like

I want a .45 ACP wheel gun one day

I agree.

Handled the one at the NRA convention, along with about 10,000 other people.

I kinda liked it.

It looks like they're following their 1911 business model and charging Dan Wesson prices for RIA quality guns.

wow Kimber about as welcomed as a old whore at church

For that type of coin I'll look for a pony logo.

They were released over a year ago at SHOT 2016. This thread is a dupe times a lot. I saw one last weekend at Bass Pro for $899. I am holding out for the new Colt Cobra.

How about linking to the actual "revolver" page chief?

Seems like every cover of American Rifleman has a Kimber on the cover and gushes like they're uber top of the line custom guns, but everyone says they're crap. Must be generous with the donations.

No, I like it, but it'd be about $500 worth of like. No more.

Posted: 2/24/2017 1:33:41 PM EDT

I like

If they make a lightweight 38sp+p I might be interested. But until then it doesn't do anything better for carry than my M&P340 other than the one extra round. The extra round is not worth a bunch of extra weight.

They should have stuck to importing Daewoos.

Bet the lockwork is based on the S&W. The cylinder release looks like it's from Ruger.

So they can't make a 100 + year old design run reliably in semi auto, but you wan't to buy something that has even more complex and finicky internals from them? Its a bold strategy cotton.

Too rich for my blood.....

Don't want a Kimber.

Oh great, now I can have revolvers that rust too.

Posted: 2/24/2017 1:52:15 PM EDT

At first I was dubious but the triggers are actually amazing.

Ya they are pretty sexy. But for as much as I shoot or need a revolver the one I have is good enough for me. It was my first handgun ever. If I am spending that much on a revolver, it's going to be something a little bigger. I can count on one hand the times I have carried a revolver since I got my ccw. It sits in my "get home bag"
