+1 on the Wilson Combat Mags. I have also been using the ACT-MAG from Novack with great results. As good as Kimber is, they still put out a very "plain" magazine. If you want some more Kimber factory mags, I'll sell you mine, they are sitting in the gun safe.

One thing more, unless your just dead set on the factory grips, get the Hogue rubber grips. I have put them on everything I have owned (Springfield Armory, Ruger, Para Ordinance and now Kimbers). The have the most natural feel, hold a great grip when you or the elements introduce water to the shooting and to me, they help in the return to proper sight picture with the more natural grip. Neither of my Kimbers ever had failure to return to battery even during break in but I have heard the same thing. It will get better with break in and quality ammo is a must.

Now you get to make a great gun even better, get some quality magwells to really set them off and make mag changes that much easier. Note the contrast using a black magwell on the stainless model!

Photo below was just prior to getting the Hogues for the Compact Stainless II. The factorys were nice, almost Hogue like in their "grip" feel but don't have the finger grooves. IMO the Hogues are a must for 1911s.

Sorry for the poor quality pic, I need to use the wifes camera to get some better photos.;)

Thankyou!

The Warrior just came back from a work out this weekend along with some of the EBR variants. Little bro and I did some artillery work with our .45s. We actually hit paper from 150-160 yards. Nothing like seeing your target by sighting in along your right thumb!;)

I was looking at some magwells when I was at Guns & Leather. When my Wilson combats arrive I think I'll take the plunge there as well. I also picked up some decent ammo yesterday to continue the break-in.

Btw, if anyone is interested, Dick's has Remington UMC in .40 and .45 for $11.98/box IF you buy a case. A buck off the normal price there.

500 or 1000 round case? Might have to stop by Dick's. I need some .40.
