Series 2 has the firing pin safety and lesser build quality.

The custom is the basic model. The custom shop marked guns are probably more handwork but the markings are ugly.

The custom is an early gun without the firing pin safety. I have one and love it. I will never part with that gun. I quit counting round count at 15,000 rounds and that was 7 or 8 years ago. I change the recoil spring frequently. Only problem I've had is the firing pin stop cracked last year. $20 part and it was back in business.

Nothing custom about it, just the base model Kimber. Even back on the series 1 guns (no firing pin safety) quality was hit or miss.

NO schwartz safety is the main difference. I would much rather have the Custom over the Custom II. The not series II models are what the Kimber Warriors are now days.

When you replace the factory sights with Heinies you drop the parts out of the slide. The external extractor is a bigger problem. My brother and I each had a Kimber when we took our Gunsite 250. Nothing but problems. |
