Some guns that cost twice as much barely shoot this good. There are a lot of people that don't like the first or second series of Kimbers, but mine runs fine.

That's nice but my glock 20 can do the same thing with more power down range and with allot less worry about rust.

I figured it was  :chuckle:  I had a little Jennings one time.  Was a fun little gun to shoot with never a jam or failure in any way.  You had to be quite close to the barn to hit it...and hit helped if that barn was the size of a battleship.  But it was a lot of fun.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I have a Remington Model 51 (http://rbsiii.com/collection/pistols/Remington_51.htm).  It's darn near 100 years old now. Very accurate, very easy to shoot and comfortable to hold.  It's never failed to feed or fire.

I'm just afraid that it might break one of these days and I'm not sure how I go about fixing a broken ~100 year old gun that hasn't been produced in ~90 years! :)

I have owned both a Kimber II .45 and a Glock 20 10MM, in my mind comparing the two, is kind of like comparing a apple to oranges. That is not to say the Glock was not a good firearm.
The Glock is the work horse the Kimber was the thoroughbred. I now shoot a XD 40, I would also categorize the XD as a workhorse as well, still nowhere near the quality of the Kimber.

"25rnds. 50yds. One hand, standing."
My Glock 20 would have been very hard pressed to shoot this well, let alone it's shooter, LOL

That's funny i also had a glock 20 before graduating to a kimber. It was a great gun and accurate. Glocks and the like are affectionately referred to as Tupperware 2x4's in my circle of friends and family.   :chuckle:

gotta put a barrel in the g20

 I got three lone wolf barrels, going to add a couple more.   Nice thing about tupperware is it comes in so many configurations.
