    Im looking at picking up a Kimber 1911. The used on im looking at has no box or any paperwork.Under the ejection port is says CLASSIC CUSTOM. It looks just like the CUSTOM II. Is this the earlier version of this gun? Anyone provide any feedback on it? Thx.

    Yes it is. This model was discontinued around 2001 for the Classic Custom II. Most
    people believe this is a better and more desirable model than the II.
    Have one . . . great pistol.

    This is because they don't have the Swartz Safety System.... I don't remember what they called the external extractor models, but if it doesn't have the Swartz or the external extractor.... I'd probably like it.

    Overall though, I don't think Kimbers have the sway they used to.
