Eight hundred rounds through the Kimber Custom LW, the aluminum framed full-size 1911 that weighs 31.2 ounces against 38 for the steel Custom II. Kimber gives it a stainless match barrel, lists the KCB Club Bundle below the bare Shadow Ghost, and sells it under a dozen trim names that differ in sights, grips and magazines.
