Kimber Owners

[Clay]

But that would have to be a used one.

not necessarily

heres some advice, if you fine one you like...buy it, dont wait, it it sells you never know when they will get another one, we placed a order last week for 20 guns, they (kimber) said ok you'll be waiting 6 months..we've had a 22 rimfire on order for 2 years now....and have had 1 solo

the ups delivery is like christmas, did santa bring us one of our back orderd kimbers?

If you find one you like in stock buy it! They can be hard to find...

I've had two. A plain Jane Custom II, I miss it dearly and have tracked it down and told current owner I'd buy it in a heartbeat if he ever sells it.

Also had a PRO CDPII, felt it was overpriced for what it was. Fit and finish was under par for price. Ejector pin broke first time out and I had to pay shipping. That experience and gun turned me sour. I sold it and haven't looked back. I doubt I buy another Kimber unless it's my first one back again. Ever since ownership shifted a few years ago quality has taken a hit in comparison to previous years.

If you are wanting a Kimber to own a Kimber then buy all means get one! They make a nice firearm. That being said you can get more from your dollar from other manufacturers...

Ive had about 4 or so different kimber models, including the custom II, and they were all great guns. No malfunctions of any kind! You wont regret getting a Kimber!

I bought a Kimber CC last year and it's really served me well. It was my first 1911. Taked down's not that bad--(been able to avoid the idiot scratch so far.) It shoots well--a couple FTE's/FTF's during the first 50 rounds or so, but none since. I really like it and have no reservations recommending one to you.

Ultra CDP II

I own only one Kimber (ultra CDP II) that have carried everyday for about 2 years and I love it. I never thought in a million years such a short barrel could be so accurate. It still draws a crowd every time i fire it at the range because it is LOUD!!!!!! Just last week had a guy one lane over firing a .44 mag stop and come over to see what i was shooting (I took a second from breaking in my new Kahr p380 to enjoy some .45 time). As far as the take down pin it was pretty simple to use and I have seen utube videos of people taking the gun apart with out using them, and if you do prefer to use it and lose one a paperclip works just as good.

Thanks for all the tips and comments everybody. I think I'm going for a black one and then add the rosewood grips, I seen one in this thread and it looks very sharp! It will be fun compairing it with my older 4" XD. Metal frame vs. plastic frame. Stay cool everyone!

I purchased a Pro Carry II a little over a week ago and finally got out to shoot it yesterday.. Shot great. I am not a fan of the stock grips so those will be changed but other then that I couldn't be happier..

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

ok all my father in law has one and it needs the take down wire. me and him spent an hour with and still have no idea how to take it apart. as bad as i feel about looking at it for an hour and not figuring it out. he has had it for years and has never taken the barrel out. please some explain how.

This is not intended as a flame what so ever, but you are posting on the internet right now. Google it next time. You could find your answer in less than 5 minutes rather than fumble around trying to get it for an hour.

Just my 2 cents.

Let me google that for you

if you get one that needs the little take down wire, get lots of extras..

Take down wire= paperclip with a 90 degree bend at one end about a 1/4" long.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread.. Someone beat me to it.

and then harden them... if it breaks while the gun is apart you might be spending a while looking for your spring..

Get one and then shoot it LOTS!

I carry mine a lot and the rosewood grips are getting banged up but they can be replaced. I suppose at some time I could get the whole thing refinished.

You get what you pay for. I bought an Eclipse Custom II yesterday. I'd never shot a .45 before. This is 28 rounds from 40 feet...only two hits outside of a 2 inch circle.

If anyone is wanting a Stainless Raptor II, I saw one at Bradis recently.

Nice Kimber!! I held the 4" version earlier today, very nice.

 

[Hoosier45]

You won't be disappointed. I own several. Gen 1 is preferred, but don't walk away from a Gen 2.

NHT3...I can't post a message to you because I haven't post enough yet. Can you send me another email message with a email address I can reply to? Thanks!
