Careful, don't spill your Kool Ade 
Its the good stuff Tom! Seriously, Us Kool-aid drinkers make a good point. I have 2 Glocks. If I wanted accuracy, I'd sell them both and buy a tricked 1911. What I want though, is good enough accuracy and absolute relability with minimal maintainence. There are more accurate guns, there are prettier guns, there are more prestigious guns, but for the money, they're hard to beat. (I would say the same about MPs). The point is that kimber makes sweet rifles and pretty nice shotguns, but they are resting on their laurels when it comes to pistols for SD. Does it go bang every time? Is it easy to operate under stress and in low light? Will it shoot 3" at 15 yards offhand? Is it forgiving of sloppy maintainence (eg can you put 500 rounds through it without cleaning)? If the answer is yes carry it. If no, save it for the range.
