Kimber 84M SuperAmerica
This model differs from the other Kimber 84M models in that it has a higher grade of wood, polished metal finish, a cheekpiece, and finer checkering. Their web site indicates that is has a free-floated barrel, but does not say this about the other models (though I find it hard to believe that the others are not free-floated).
