Quoted: Thought I'd revive this again, rather than start my own. Any further thoughts on the TLE? I won't buy a Springfield, so don't bother suggesting that. Is the TLE worth it over the base Kimber?

I just got mine back from the custom shop - had it refinished. Looks extra sweet now!
I havent had any problems with the sights, they glow, they work, and I havent needed to shoot anyone in low light yet. The gun is VERY tight out of the box and still is pretty tight even after 400 rounds.
The checkering is great, it lets you have a VERY solid grip on the gun. My only complaint is that after 2-3 boxes, the inside of your fingers are a tad callused from the checkering chewing up your epidermis on every shot. The front serrations usually cost about $100 for a gunsmith to do, the checkering and the night sights are add to the deal too. Extended alluminum magwell, 20LPI on the backstrap/mainspring housing, and the sweetest factory trigger I've ever seen (Factory says 5 lbs, I swear mine is extra crisp at 3.5) - you've got one hell of a gun.
Too bad I'm getting rid of it. What part of FL you in? We might be able to work something out.
