Re: Kimber?

We have bought Wilson Combat 47D mags from T&G Sales. They're nearly always at the gun show in the George R Brown convention center in Houston. You might try googling the business name or hit a big gun show in DFW.

oops, looks like their site is down for maintenance.

on paper, yes, but that hasn't been my experience, nor the experience of a bunch of users (The Annoyed Man will tell ya) with the 3"
I believe that the 3" design has come a long way, and if you use a good recoil spring you should be squared away.
That's why I quoted "Conventional wisdom". My only experience with an Ultra was borrowing one (CDP) for a weekend to see how I liked it. I was more accurate with my wife's full-size Rock Island. That led to my decision to buy the Pro

Re: Kimber?

Conventional wisdom is that the full-size are the best (because they are the original design, presumably). The Pro series might be somewhat less reliable (but still good), but the Ultra would be the most problematic because of the redesign necessary to get all the moving parts to work properly in the 3" size.

Based on somewhat limited experience (about 700 or so rounds), my Pro Carry II has worked flawlessly with Wilson Combat magazines. The only true fail-to-feeds I've had (that could not be attributed to "it's past time to clean it") were with the Kimber mag that came with the gun; I don't use that mag any more -- it lies, empty, in my range bag.
