Re: Kimber?

I bought my Stainless Ultra Compact after shooting a buddies full size Kimber. I love mine, if I ever ended up selling a gun, which I will probably never do, this wont be one that gets sold.

I did however have some problems with mine, failure to feed about every 2 mags.. It was mostly because the slide was getting so full of junk it was very rough to operate. I started using gun grease on it, and it hasn't failed once after that. I prefer grease anyways..

It's very accurate, even at 15 yards, which I didnt think was possible with a 3 inch barrel. My only complaint is the trigger feel, but I'm very picky about my triggers. I haven't done anything about it yet, it's not horrible by any means I could live with it if I didnt feel like messing with it. I'm just one of those guys that likes changing things to suit me better..

The 1 other problem is being aluminum framed, the metal followers in the factory mags will screw up the mag well. It doesn't hurt operation, it just leaves a nasty scar. When I target shoot I just dont fire the last 2 shots. I plan to buy some Kimber Tac mags later as they have skirted followers.

I've handled many handguns, and Kimber is by far my handgun of choice. I have no need to buy another one, but I really want to now :lol: I have the urge to buy another Stainless UC, I'd like to have a full size but there is no way I could conceal it with my body type ( 6'3 175lbs ). So I'm not sure what I'd buy, I just know I want another one.
