I'm glad someone started a thread on this issue. Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of seeing the SAME PEOPLE on post after post trashing Kimber's because of the supposed problem with the external extractor. I do realize that there are a few folks who have had problems with them in short guns, but Geez, one would think that all Kimber makes is external extractors and not quality guns.
It is pretty well establish that 1911 pistols shorter than 4-5 inches suffer from critical timing issues. I'm wondering if that's not as much a problem as anything else. Again, I believe that there are some guns that have had a problem with the external extractor, but I'm certainly glad to see that I'm not the only one who is quite happy with them. Flame away! :rock:
