I have to say I like it.

I am guessing that you are going to be alone on this one for the most part.  It could make an interesting safe queen but I would punch my mother in her throat before I would spend $4,500 on one.

Not a fan. For that money, you could buy a full custom with extras, or 2 semi customs.

I love case hardened frames with blued slides. But instead of dropping that much on a Kimber Id be looking at a Wilson Supergrade with the same finish combination minus the engraving. It would be about the same price, and it would be a Wilson.

It's been posted before, not only does it look stupid, it costs $4400...at which point I could have a Les Baer TRS and Ed Brown SF for the same price.  No thanks Kimber.

Now if it was a  commemoritive 100 year tribute to the evolution of the 1911...like a Warrior with a 25LPI front strap and some nice VZ grips and their magwell for $1300 I might consider it.

Or maybe a Kimber nod to the original like a Custom II with no FCS, some wood grips, GI rod system, no swartz safety, steel MSH with lanyard loop for...say...$800 I might consider it too.

If you liked that Kimber, you're gonna love the Olympic Westerner:

That thing looks like it got pulled out of a house that burned down.

I don't disagree.  But you know –– the funny thing is, it's so ugly, I kind of want one.
