Kudos to Kimber

I took my Kimber Rimfire Target dedicated .22lr 1911-A1 from my safe for comparison to my new RIA XT22 and noticed, or re-noticed I should say, that the extractor in my Kimber is completely worn out from countless rounds down range. Pistol still works fine unless you're trying to extract a live round and then the problem rears it's head.
Could not find the part on Kimber's website so I gave them a call.
Now keep in mind that this a pistol purchased new in 2004 or 2005 and has untold rounds down the tube and Kimber simply asked for my address to mail me a replacement extractor and extractor spring free of charge.
Thanks Kimber.

That's pretty cool of them to do. Not sure all manufacturers would do the same

Kimber America...

At one point in the mid-2000s, Kimber America stated they sold more 1911a1 type semi-auto pistols then any other US brand.

A few PDs & owners have said the company has problems with QC but it looks like somebody is doing good work in Yonkers. LOL

Well eight weeks and two phone calls later and still no extractor.
Lots of excuses but no action.

Sorry for your bad luck on the extractor but this is just another example of why Kimber just SUCKS!

 

[Microgunner]

I'm beginning to adopt that same attitude.

Leave it to Kimber to do something right, then screw it up

I hope they come around and you find out its some oversight. They make a great firearm and have the ocasional issue the same as anyone else. It seams like there CS is just lacking compared to some other manufacturers.

It's looking more like "kurses" to Kimber rather than kudos to Kimber.
