I bought them all "slightly used", and all function and shoot fine. I have the Ultra Elite, Ultra CDP & Ultra Eclipse II. I like the Wilson Combat 7 round stainless magazines with the polymer followers. I think that you will enjoy shooting that Kimber! |
| 2Crazy4U User ID: 1528294  Venezuela09/08/2011 11:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey my friend how are you doing, nice to talk to you again brother.. I hope that you have good news under the sleeve. You need to update me on 2 subject, the beautifull young girl and this brand new 1911.. I think that a very good performance pistol is always a good investment.. Sometimes they are not as good looking as other pieces but they are better in other department like stopping power, reliability, availability of the ammo, etc.. For example i have a Browning Hi-Power 9x19mm. Its a FN from Herstal Belgique, 13 rounds. I have this sidearm for almost 15 years and NEVER has let me down.. If you compare to the Glock 17, SIG P220, HK45 Compact, mine is ugly as hell.. But very reliable!! I'm making planes to buy me a nice .45 ACP from HK or Glock but here the pistol cost a real fortune. For example (i don'y know how much cost in the US) but here a Beretta 92FS made in USA cost: 3488 US$ or 15 millions Yeap thats right, the importer STEAL money as they want and there is not way to regulate the price. And if a very common Beretta 92FS cost 3.488 you can guess how much money can cost a HK45 or a Glock 21 4th gen, or a SIG P220  Life its not measure by the number of breath you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. |

Yeah, well, there are two beautiful girls I know, but I don't get to see them much. Such is my life. I don't remember which we were talking about, but I'll be sure to update you now that I know you want to know. As far as pistols go, I agree, function is better than form. Are you aware of what a 1911 is? I assume you are. I really like Browning Hi-Power guns. Those are sweet! If you like that, I imagine you must like the 1911. I used to have a Beretta 92fs too, it was a very nice weapon. I'm sorry to hear that the guns are so expensive for you. They are not cheap here either. I'm lucky to have some knowledge and to have a good job. I hope good things for you! tfho Study history, or STFU! Let me guess? You'll speak your empty mind? |

It looks identical to yours. Mine only came with one clip which was disappointing, but this is simply the best feeling semi I have owned all around. My other two are a Beretta 92 fs and a Glock 26(extended grips). While I am more used to the Glock(and yes it feels like a brick), it’s a much easier field strip than the Kimber. The fact you cant field strip the Kimber without that little tool is a PITA. |

Most manufacturers these days only include one magazine. But, you are in luck. I just bought 5 more from here at an amazing price! Check it out. [link to www.the-armory.com] I agree with you on having to use the tool to field strip it, but honestly, I've owned two other 1911's in my time and they were a PITA to strip and put back together as well. Man, they sure shoot nicely though. Enjoy it!  Study history, or STFU! Let me guess? You'll speak your empty mind? |

Yeap i know is a fortune, that is what i said that i'm making planes, cause import fireamrs is forbiden by law, and the gunsmith here always multiply the price to a factor of 4, 5 even 6 times the original price.

Its a modern and compact (ready for CCW) with all the advantage of the 1911.

It is an expensive pistol no doubt, but you get what you pay for. It took me quite a while to get it. I was really impressed with the fit and finish, but especially the accuracy! These things are crazy accurate! The two main things you want in a pistol are reliability, and accuracy. So far this one is scoring a 10 with me. If you get a chance to get one do it. I don't see how you could be sorry. Study history, or STFU! Let me guess? You'll speak your empty mind? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1450879 United States09/12/2011 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im the other guy who posted earlier about also getting a Super Carry Pro. I went yesterday on 9/11 and took a ten hour course for conceal carry(10 hours is required here in Ohio). It went well, felt much better after a somewhat downer weekend of all the 9/11 coverage(no disrespect, it just seemed on 24/7, needed a break.) Anyway, I used the trusty Glock 26 as I hadn’t gotten a chance to fire the Kimber yet. Wouldn’t you know it, I had passed maybe 600 rounds over the past month through that Glock, and I got a stovepipe trying to pass 60 for the Qualification at the range yesterday. (No Glock fans, Im not putting it down, just citing Murphys Law) Ive had the Glock since about 99. Its got a total of maybe 3000 rounds, never stovepiped before with it in my life. Winchester 9mm Luger ammo. Anyway, still passed with a wuick tap and rack. Wednesday night, for giggles, Im taking the Glock, the Beretta 92 fs and the Kimber Super Carry Pro to the range to shoot 8 rounds through each at a target for comparison. I will post the results for those interested. Up front, I will admit I suck… lol or else Id post in a gun forum. I think we will see a difference though. |

I'll be happy to hear how it goes. I'd guess all three to be quite accurate. I'm not a Glock fan, but it's just because of their feel, not their abilities. If I had to guess, in this match accuracy would probably follow price. 1. Kimber 2. Beretta 3. Glock but since it's offhand shooting (I imagine) it could be totally different too. Enjoy!
