Kimber used to make a good gun.
Notorious for bad quality now.
There are three tiers, generally, for 1911’s.
Tier one is the entry level, you get what you get are the Ria’s, Tisas, etc. usually less than 6 or 700 bucks. It’s a crapshoot. Might get serviceable, might not.
Mid level guns are Sig, Springfield, Ruger and several others. I have several Sigs and, for the money, they are good, dependable firearms. Usually in the $900 to $1200 range.
The upper end guns, Wilson, Nighthawk, Brown and Colt. Prices here can be pretty high.
Personally, I think the mid grade 1911’s are a better value.
Do some google work and I think you will learn some valuable info. I would def google Kimber and ask a few gun stores about the brand before you buy one.

I thought the kimber solo was so cool when it came out.
Not even for sale anymore.

I have a colt and a sig.
Both great guns. Fit and finish is about the same. You just pay a bit extra for that colt name.

This is a very broad statement. I haven't seen a Tisas or RIA that wasn't serviceable. On the other hand I've had several Springfields and Colts with functional problems and defects that you'd expect with a cheaper gun, but that's just not the case. The only reason Tisas and RIA are cheaper is because of cheaper labor costs overseas. They still have top notch quality control.
