I agree 100% with RsqVet Wilson IMHO is past building many of their firearms for quality and more into just making as much money as they can make.
You read the many forums and many have quality problems with their shot guns along with their 1911s. But the BIG item is they will not take care of the problems.
This no one can except today from any firearm Mfg.
I feel Kimber with the Custom Shop will try to solve peoples real or unreal problems.
I have really been impressed with the quality of build finish and how it shoots without any problems. Thats my new Para LDA 3-1/2 inch .45acp

So far I have not read in any forum about a Para 1911 giving their owners any problems or a bad word about the quality of their firearms company.
