First look at a Kimber Rapide Heat

[@Stonehaven2010]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that had a problem putting it back together

[@MC-oh1ju]

Stone good looking out letting Joe review this. It’s gorgeous!

[@abledemo1]

I have a rapide heat, way over sprung. Dropped the spring weight and runs great suppressed. It at the time was the only gun that had all the features i wanted under 3k. It really runs like a champ. Been very lucky with mine.

[@McMannis85]

You’re correct. They’re absolutely good looking.

[@ahole5407]

I once dated a stripper named Kandy that was also good looking. Doesn't mean she was good for me 😂

[@REFUCIL-ARlo]

..But not quite to your caliber 😉 😊

[@deamonkai]

Yeah I bought one. The initial takedown was crazy tight. Inspection, clean and oiling the mechanical points of frustration helps tremendously.

[@thearmzmen]

Kimbers are always aestheically pleasing but not always reliable. Owned 3 in the past, and all 3 were nothing but issues. Hopefully, their QC and CS is much improved these days. Very nice-looking model. 👌

Watching your reviews in the morning is becoming habitual. Hope you’re feeling well, have a good one!

[@michaelltnv6741]

Another great review. I sure do like Kimber guns. I just learned something about suppressors. It might need a heavier spring. Is that the same on 9mm? Thank you for both, Joe.

[@rodanone4895]

i also like Kimbers. have original rapide in 9,10, and 45. all of them have been very reliable. the 45 needed break in. it was the only black one. other was dawn and black ice.

[@DesertMav]

I've definitely looked into getting a Kimber just to get into a slightly better 1911 and a GI model. This would be something I'd look into getting, but I may potentially save up for a higher end 1911.

My Kimber spring has hit the ceiling so many times

[@adamadams6740]

I know they save money sharing frames,but on a “tactical” 1911 I think a square trigger guard looks better.still nice looking,I’ve had a custom II around for long time(I bought for my dad)it’s been a good reliable shooter.

[@REFUCIL-ARlo]

Hi! -Thanks 😊

[@mchlcordell]

Beautiful firearms 😊

[@rholland8708]

Great review. Is the Kimber tattoo next? Buddy must be a crip. Lol

[@MrSLF]

Thank you. 👍

[@eraander81]

I have a Rapide Dusk in 10mm that is almost a safe queen only because I hate trying to wrestle with that tight SOB to clean it.

[@GuilePatrick]

Idk what are the issues but I only see Kimbers thru films... Punisher series,Swat series and of course John Wick 2..

[@ahole5407]

If they only put as much effort into the design and construction as they do with the "pretty" packaging 😂

[@S.A.Masquerade]

Very pretty.

[@DukeTolgo]

Bro why don’t you work on your guns at a table or work bench?

[@TheJimminiShow]

When I do actual gunsmithing, I do. This is a review. And the couch is kinda my thing now.

[@Good2cyou]

Kimber sucks lol
