Buying My First 1911 - Kimber Ultra Carry II

[Sidecarist]

Give it a thorough cleaning and lube it when you get it back. That first FTF doesn't bug me as it was brand new, and may be an issue with the preservative in the mag as much as anything.

 

Congratulations and happy shooting.

Got my Gun back last night with the new holster!  I haven't started carrying it yet but I did put it on for a little while.  Gonna have to break the holster in a little and fire the gun about 100 more times before I start carrying it.  Its a little thinner than the Cylinder of the LCR but heavier when loaded down with that 45ACP ammo :)  

 

The holster turned out amazing!  His craftsmanship is like none other.

 

Here is a pic of both Guns that I have setup for CC in IWB holsters made by the same guy.

My Kimber Ultra CDP II and Kimber Pro Raptor have been reliable AFTER; I found the ammunition it liked and polished the feed ramp / rail slides. My experience is, once they're good and broke in and well lubed, I've had FEW problems at IDPA. I still like the trust worthiness of my Glock 19 more though.  For a better grip and handling, you might want to try a set of aggressive VZ grips on a 1911. Great handling but tough on your skin / tee shirts.

So far so good guys!!!  Ive fired her 400 times and only the first time had problems.  I do however have to do a "sling shot" on the first Critical Defense round when loading the pistol.  I could see where it would be hateful with some loads/bullets especially those that are flatter in nature.  With care and attention to detail of the firearm I think this can be overcome.  

 

Ive carried this Pistol all week and I love the weight even loaded.  Its the gun Ive always wanted!!  its only missing the Night sights, which will be put on it soon!!!!

 

Any suggestions?  I want to keep that "stock" appearance.
