Question: are kimber 1911 worth the money?
Answer: Kimbers are GREAT sub $1100 1911's. Anything more than that and your paying for the name. Like most people stated above most people are getting them for 850 to 950, and they are a awesome value. Above 1100 bucks your 1911 should be completely tight, few MIM parts, and some frame and slide machining, and a nice trigger.
