that may be one reason why, but you love to say mimber.. I bet every time you read "mimber" it puts a smile on your face.

I'm curious to know why you posted this Kimber bashing? If I wanted to listen to a bunch of BS I'd start an argument with my wife, but I wouldn't waste time doing it here.

The thread is not a Kimber bashing thread as far as I can see. It's a failure of an MIM part. This is the MIMBER section right?

Plus I wanted to see how

would react....

Uh guys? I really hate to rain on any 'Mimber-parades' but, that's not a MIM part, it's cast. If you look at the break you'll see the color and grain, MIM is darker and not as grainy. That's a pressure break, there's no voids or anything else in the pics that would precipitate that break. The Clown was putting too much pressure on the paddle trying to control the recoil.
