I can't speak for Kimbers never owned one but I can speak for Springfields.
My last duty weapon before I left LE was a Springfield Operator with the full length dust cover and rail. I recently purchased a TRP with rails, adustable night sights and armory kote that I was able to put through its paces while I was home it was flawless.
This particular version may be over your price range but the standard Operators would not be. SA customer service, although I have never had to use them, from my understanding is the best in the business.
Good luck in your search.
