You short sell some of the original "Clack" Kimbers, my first Clack was just as nice and refined as my Wilson CQB, but after that, quality and/or care went downhill to the point that Kimbers are overpriced paper weighty versions of their former selves!I mean, lets be honest... they are fine pistols, but they are just lacking the features to justify anything more than $700 (and that would be for a minty one). I have seen several Wesson Valors at the $1200 mark lately and have seen a few at the 1K mark. A pistol that surely kicks the crap out of not only this Kimber, but every/any Kimber made to date.
I was looking for a Clack for a long time to use as a base gun to send to either Chuck Rodgers or Lou Biando. I stopped shortly after realizing that Clack owners thought they had something that they are just not.
Fine pistol... be proud to own it... but far from a Valor, which is just a few hundred dollars north of what you want for your Kimber.
