Kimber Rimfire Super
The frontstrap and trigger guard are both checkered, and the frame is nicely set off with checkered rosewood grips.

Unlike its full-size counterpart, the slide of the Rimfire Super (and the other models in the Rimfire line) does not lock back after the last round is fired. Additionally, with the magazine removed, the gun will still fire if there is a round left in the chamber.
At 25 feet with a sandbag positioned on my shooting box, the gun performed admirably with both Remington and Winchester ammunition. The trigger obviously helped to obtain good groups, and I was pleased with the outcome, especially the groups I got with Remington Target ammunition.
However, Kimber notes that these guns are designed for high velocity ammo only; I fed it slower target fodder just as a test to see what kind of accuracy I would get. It’s worth mentioning that this custom shop gun comes with a 11⁄2-inch accuracy guarantee, and Kimber sends along a target to prove it.
For the dedicated shooter who wants a gun worthy of both the expense and custom fitting, the Kimber Rimfire Super rates very highly in my book. I like the way it feels, the way it fits into my Model 1911 holsters and its light weight for extended days in the field. On a scale of 10, this rimfire rates a 10.
