Lots of negative stuff about Kimber is posted in this forum, I figured I'd post something positive for once.
My Custom II just surpassed the 1000-round mark last Saturday. To date I've only had 2 malfunctions on it, one was a failure to feed (non-shooter friend limpwristing) and another failure to feed from another friend who tried to use a Springfield mag on it. Aside from those FTFs, the gun has been working flawlessly.
No known defects. Some holster marks are starting to appear on the front of the slide and I've got a scratch on the frame from when I got careless putting the slide-release back in. But those are purely aesthetic.
Accuracy is excellent. I have no idea how well it shoots, but I know it shoots a lot better than me. Standing unsupported on slow fire I can reliably hit a head-sized target at 50-feet. I've not been able to shoot from a rest yet.
I used it in an Action Pistol Match on Saturday night for the first time and I missed the hit zone a few times but I always manage to hit the target even when I'm really rushing. There was one stage where I nailed five consecutive headshots right in the hit zone (4"x2" rectangle) from 10 yards. The Custom II worked flawlessly, my "tactical" reloads are a whole another story though.
