Before I pull the plug on my friend's NIB Kimber TLE, what is exactly wrong with owning a Kimber? I'm no 1911 expert, but I have owned a few in my lifetime; Springfield, Colt, STI, Nighthawk, Baer, and now DW.

I see all these bad things said about Kimber; mim this, mim that, customer service stinks, etc, etc. Does anybody really know what mim is? If it is indeed inferior to steel? Granted, I would replace some components anyway to get it the way I want it, like most people do to any 1911. Have you dealt with their CS? Have you owned one? Or do you subscribe to the beliefs of what people say on the internet?
