Kimber, Kimber, Kimber….. great guns, but what if not what the OP desires? Kimber has limited options. So back into that shark infested custom gunmaker market. The builder of the OP’s gun has many fans who love their guns. No question. The builder also has what appears to be a train reck of customers who are not happy. Just the way it is. Unfortunately, consistency is not one of the builder’s strong points. Debated here more than once, but little help to the OP. Custom gunmakers like Mike Brooks for example, who would build whatever the customer wanted, had a five year wait five years ago as he was ‘ramping’ down. Today, I don’t know his prices or delivery. There are also a few builders on this forum who would do a wonderful job on a custom gun, just comes down to price and delivery time.
The OP is returning his gun to the builder. Let’s see how things play out. There are always those surprise happy endings that many dream about.
