Kimber's reputation is based primarily on spending gazillions of dollars on full-page ads in all the gun magazines. In reality, their reliability record has always been worse than most other 1911 makers.

They also use more MIM parts than probably any other maker, which has caused them to be nicknamed "Mimber." Ever hear of any other brand of 1911 have the hammer fracture? I haven't.
