After the required break-in, Kimbers are extremely reliable.
I have a clean Kimber Custom II Target with several hundred rounds, including various reloads, through it. So, how do I know when it's safe to carry it for protection? As I've said before, sometimes it gets mad and won't go bang for reasons known only to her.

My Taurus PT 1911 and my two XD's always go bang as does my Hi Power.

I already jumped. I would look but don't want to suffer buyers remorse. Just lie to me and tell me it was way over priced so I can feel good. ;-)

The 8 round mags are what I want....I just wanted to be sure nobody has any problems with them. Most of the ones I am finding online are about 36-38 bucks now so i guess the prices are about right.

I have a Crossbreed Super Tuck IWB for my Glocks (same one fits all) and like it. I don't have a special belt as the PM9 is so small it really doesn't pull down much. Maybe it is time to get one. A couple fellers at B.T. in Plano told me they carry theirs in the small of the back. Small of back sounded uncomfortable to me so I am happy to read that 3 oclock works fine. My glock 27 digs into the love handles sometimes.


Again...thanks for the help. Maybe I can just purchase one holster this time and be in good shape. :coolgleamA:
Okay, now that you've got the Kimber out of your system, you need to look for a 4" Springfield XD .45 Service w/ Thumb Safety. If you can find one, it should run you less than $550 and you can add laser sights and/or night sights and/or a bayonet, etc. later when your ship comes in. :mrgreen:
