My stock Warrior runs. Mods were a Vickers hand-profiled thumb safety, and Rogers Precision golfballing. My TLE/RL II with external extractor ran fine for 2000+ rds with no issue too.
I had to send another Warrior off to Novak's shop to get it right though. So my success is 100%, but one with major mods and two with no mods.
I doubt Kimber's actual failure rate is 33.3% or higher, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who unknowingly bought a $850-$1000 1911 that was the one in five or 1 in 10 to be a lemon.
The one I bought with issues, I knew about it up front and got a great price.
