Questions about a rare Kimber for you 1911 guys.

[Abuayyoub]

I have been given an oppertunity to trade one of my rifles for a Kimber SIS Ultra.
I have to admit I'm not really a 1911 guy but from what I gather about this pistol is that it's pretty rare. It's the small carry version of the SIS. Line which I guess we're made in limited production for only about a year before Kimber pulled them because the Anto-gunners freaked out about it having the SIs logo on it.
Anyhow, my question is what is this thing worth today in 2016? Cash value and trade value? I am actually only considering buying this to trade for Something else.

What at ill be trading for it is a Palmetto Arms AR10 with scope (which I got in another trade ) and some ammo and upgrades. Is it a good trade or should I just hold on to my rifle?

Ideally i I want to get a Sig 226 legion, tac oops or a nice AK out of the deal.

Thanks for the advice.

Last one that sold on GB went for 850, trade is anyone's guess.

There's no way I'd trade an AR in 308 for a Kimber SIS

This.
Totally.

Keep your rifle.

Unless they have another kimber to go with the first one, keep your rifle!

 

[IndyGlockMan]

keep your rifle.

If your ultimate goal is a Sig or AK, you would be better served trying to trade your rifle for one of those instead of trying to trade twice to get there.

A 10/22 might be a fair trade for a kimber

I remember hearing about Kimber building the SIS model and then the SIS units not adopting them. Somthing to do with reliability issues as well as QC issues.

I always thought the SIS was an ugly gun. There were complaints that the SIS cocking serrations didn't afford much of a grip. There were reasons it only had a brief run. it would still be in production if it sold like hotcakes.

Nonsense. Big-name gun magazines told me it was the best ever!

Rare......there is a good reason for this

 

[mikefraz]

You'd be getting the short end of that stick if you made that deal. Don't settle.

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

I would keep my rifle, I have a dpms lr and would never trade it (again).

 

[LCSOSgt11]

Keep that rifle. Especially in a proper caliber. There is no way I would trade a rifle for a 1911. Kimbers, Colts, or others notwithstanding.

A quality Kimber is even more rare!

Untrue. Series I Kimbers were excellent guns...reliable, accurate, and smooth triggers that break like glass. I still carry one, and it's my favorite handgun. I can't speak to Series II guns.
