I have seen a Kimber Custom II going for $650 on a local gun equivalent of craigslist. It has been listed for over a week and a half with no takers.

I bought a new Kimber Custom II when they first came out with the external extractor. After battling with Kimber for about a year, they finally sent it back to me after the thrird try to get it right with a slide that had an internal extractor. While I still have the Custom II, I doubt I would buy another Kimber. For my money there are too many other options of quality 1911's that I prefer. Keep in mind Kimber has only a one year warranty on their 1911's, while Sig, S&W, Springfield, and even Taurus have a lifetime warranty on theirs.
