    I belive the last retail price I saw was in the neighborhood of $1750, but should be in the in should be in the $1400 range. for another $350 more you can get a much nicer piece built by Wilson Combat or Les Baer ... Although The Super Match is nice, its still a production gun, it just gets a little more attention to detail.

    I was convinced that they were over-rated when they guarenteed them to shoot a 1.5" group at 50 feet (if I remember correctly) but the test targets I saw were around 3/4" shot at 25 feet. On the Kimber board people complained about it and were told to "Do the math! - 3/4" at 25 feet is the same as 1.5" at 50' ... well to make a long story short they've changed their guarentee to comply with the targets ... rather than shoot the test targets at 50 ...

    Check into the Gold Combat, it msr's for somewhere around $1200, and is just as nice as the supermatch.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    My brother in law has a stainless Gold Match and it's a very nice gun. Also IMHO the Super Match is just plain ugly. The bad thing about the Gold Combat is that the sights are not adjustable. I bought a Custon last year and now I wish I would've spent a little more and gone with the the Custom Target so I could have some adjustable sights. Also, I but a blue one and regret it. The bluing has worn a lot on the grip safety, mag release & slide latch. Go stainless. Oh well, live and learn. I'm sure it won't be the last .45 I buy.
