I contacted Kimber to buy a new front night sight for a used 10mm 1911 that I bought from a forum member. I was surprised that the rear sight was still strong enough to see the dots, but planned on installing a Novak adjustable after the tritium failed.
Kimber rep asked for pictures, and after receiving them, he provided an RMA number and a UPS prepaid label. He told me that the 9-year old pistol was under a 10-year warranty for the night sights, so Kimber would replace them if I would send them the slide.
This is the first Kimber that I have needed to discuss with Customer Service. I have four Kimbers, all 1911 types, and none have had any mechanical or finish issues. This was unexpectedly good service, offered up with no hesitation.
I guess I don’t need to give Wayne any money, after all🥳
