I have the Arctic LW in 9mm and it’s been 100% reliable. I’ve got about 700 rounds through it. It’s accurate and reliable with a very light weight carries well.

 

I have this gun with the basic rubber grips. Otherwise, it's the same, and it's a great shooter, and very accurate. Had probs with the finish sloughing off the thumb safety, but Kimber took care of it. It is far better than the the new Colt I bot in January. Kimber's customer service is great. I don't understand all the badmouthing about Kimber's quality. Totally uncalled for.

 

My kimber lw shadow ghost in 45.It is my edc and every bit of 800 plus rds thru it zero issues.Use soley kimber mags with it.Stupid accurate!bought in march so I've been using it regular.Highly recommend the LW in which ever version.I own 3 kimbers 1 2 tone in 45,and eclipse custom 2 10mm.Great id buy a kimber all day.

 

That is the gun I have and calling it "stupid accurate" is an understatement.

 

Agreed^^^^.My 2 tone is no slouch either.

 

Do these LW full-size models have the firing pin safety ?

 

Nope, series 70.

 

Nope, series 70.

Agreed. If there's no II after the model name then there's no FPS.
