Unreal. I've always kinda thought the kimbers were more about the show but I just don't have enough experience with them. I'd be interested as to why you feel this way.

I've owned 4 in the past 15 years or so. A series 1 which was one of the best 1911s for the price I have ever owned. A TLE/RL which was the next best(the only issue with it was a grip bushing that stripped from the frame first time out, kimber fixed it), a Pro TLE II which went back to kimber two times both on my time b/c barrel wasn't properly timed which caused the slide to not come into battery every time, and a Pro Tactical which had an external extractor(kimber produced them very briefly). That gun couldn't run a mag of anything with out FTF or FTE. Which is the reason they dropped external extractors pretty quickly.

It just seems like kimber is more about the number of diffferent models they can create rather then making two or three models that just run.
