my new Kimber ultra carry II with Crimson Trace

[Dberg]

Just purchased my first 1911 and I must say I love it.  Put 150 rds through it and back today to shoot a couple hundred more.  Ordered Winchester Ranger +P 45  to keep it happy.  I am thinking of sending it to Robar for NP3.

congrats on your first 1911, it will not be your last.  Tom

Congratulations on that first 1911. As Tom so aptly observes, it will not be your last. Once you have entered the realm of John Moses Browning, there is no turning back.

Dberg.  I must say, seems like you have purchased a fine 1911, for sure.  Don't have one, however, like their looks.  Congrats and enjoy!

Great gun, not only will it not be your first 1911, it will not be your only Kimber.

At one time I had over 30 Kimbers, until the Tax Man caught up to me.  
Now I think I have  a half dozen maybe.

Enjoy!

Dberg,  Enjoy that kimber.  I have one of their full size standard models and love it.  I haven't found any ammo it won't eat.

Dburg, Congrats on the Kimber.  They are fantastic .45's that shoot great.  Would love to see one Robared.

I have 3 Kimber's in my collection..2 Custom Shop Eclipse' from the initial run - 5 inch "Custom" and 4 inch "Pro" both NIB unfired.  My shooter is a Covert Pro with Crimson Trace grips.

Will probably sell the 5 Inch Custom Shop gun soon to fund my next pup.  Really am getting nuts over Farmingdales and the auction gun is growing on me.

You guys warned me

It doesn't happen all the time, but most of the time!

Yes, it would appear that you have definitely contracted "The Fever." The good news is that you can obtain symptomatic relief from the acquisition of another Rohrbaugh. The bad news is that the symptomatic relief will be only temporary, since there is no cure for "The Fever."

Those who do have Kimbers.  What would you say is the break in time for this weapon?  I have shot a little more then 200 rounds through it and have had 2 jams.  I know this normal.  I just re cleaned it and used Wilson's Combat grease.  I will see how it acts tomorrow.

I got my Kimber Ultra CDP a few months ago, great gun for the money.
Here is mine.

I've been fortunate and haven't experienced any jams in a bit over 200 rounds on a Covert Pro.

My shooting buddy had a half dozen jams in the first 100 rounds.  An authorized Kimber smith changed the recoil spring under warranty and it's been fine for about 300 rounds.

Same mags, Wilson's, used the whole time.  I don't like Kimber's mags.  

[Reinz]

All my Kimbers were shooters and never had to "break them in".
They did great out of the box.  Each one had anywhere from one to probably six thousand rounds through them.  Some were shot more than others.

The only gun I ever had to "break in" was my Les Baer 1911 because of it's excessive tightness.
After 200-300 rounds it is dependable.

I just picked up my first 1911 today, a Colt Combat Commander.  I haven't even had a chance to shoot it and have to work this weekend, so it might be a few days.  

I am excited about the chance to put some rounds downrange though.

LRHogFan.  Congrats on the Colt Combat Commander.  Excellent choice in 1911's.  Enjoy!
