Question about the Kimber Custom II.

[Bluedragon]

Thinking about picking up a Kimber Custom II and building it up to resemble the Kimber ICQB. However I noticed some Kimbers have external extractors now and some don't? I personally would prefer to get one with an internal extractor as all the 1911's I've had previously were internal. But I wanted to ask if anyone knows if Kimber still makes their 1911's with internal or have they gone with just external extractors?

I could be wrong but if I remember correctly the earlier Kimbers had external extractors but newer manufacture have the internal (Got this tidbit from a seller at a gun show a few years ago when I asked the same thing so I hope its correct) The external is actually the original John Browning design FYI

Kimber stopped making them with the external extractor 5 or 6 years ago, they were having way to many problems with them (and they had only made them for a year or two, some time during the mid 2000's). Stay away from the external extractor Kimbers.
