Do they come stock with an External or Internal extractor? And does it matter a whole lot?

from like 04-07 or so (someone clarify), they had the external, "tactical" extractors which imo were POS; before and after, they went back to internal, traditional 1911 extractors...imo, after 04, kimbers took a shit anyways w/ a lot of thier stuff

the externals tended to have lots of problems (compared to comparable numbers of internal ones)...iirc, it was due to tension (extension of the extractor arm, spring, claw, etc) and so forth

if anything, get one w/ an internal extractor––it can be tuned

Kimber no longer produces external extractor models.
