Les's pistols are UBER tight, on purpose and are hand fit to get that way. Kimber's aren't. What Les does is for a different reason than what Kimber does.
I've ran into precious few Baers that FTF'ed in the first 500 rounds. But if you're using light loads or reloads, it's possible that they will due to the exceptionally tight tolerances. I've owned Baers and while I don't care for them personally, for what they are they are some of the best - that being match grade pistols. If I were shooting a bullseye match, I would want a Baer. For a defensive arm, I prefer something a little less tightly fit that's more forgiving of the ammo and environment.
As for bashing Kimber, I love that comment too. I'm pointing out issues I see with Kimber and that's not bashing. My God, have we reached such a PC state that no one can ever have a negative opinion about something without someone else getting all bent out of shape and calling you a "basher"?
I don't like Fords either, does that make me a Ford basher? I prefer Ocean Spray Cranberry juice... does that make me a basher of other brands if I say why I don't like them? I prefer Jimmy Johns and I don't care for Quizno's... they use way too much sauce. Ooops, I just bashed Quizno's.
