I find mine weighs a decent bit, probably because I also have the full length recoil rod and comp kit on mine. The Kimber chamber thread I'd imagine is the same as the Hi-capa thread, so you need to get Hi-Capa 5.1 straight barrel for that if you want to go that route. The barrel and the slide fit is OK with the SD parts. No where near as hard to mess with than the BBU and the frame thing that comes with my Nova kit. The nicest thing IMO on the whole Nova kit thing is that the "clunk" you get when cycling the slide. The fit is much less sloppy than my Hi-Capa. I also have all Nova controls minus the trigger and mag release(Nine-Ball and Stock). They are nice, but for mine they are slightly different color than their MBK, I wonder if I should've just gotten the stainless ones instead. The Ambi-safety has a bit of slop to it that I don't like, but it functions and looks good. Though I think mine was actually the wrong one for a SFA gun(mine was I think Kimber style).
One thing of note, the SD outer barrel is slightly bigger OD(probably less than 3 thou) than the stock or the Nova barrel, I had trouble using it with the PDI comp kit, I had to turn that down a bit to fit, which obviously made the finish in that portion uneven compare to the rest....
