I bought one of these on your suggestion earlier and have to say: It's the best accessory I've ever purchased!
If you have a Kimber that requires the take-down pin, give this tool a try.

Kimbers "Custom" sized model has a 5 inch barrel like a "Government" sized colt. The custom sized guns that have a full length guide rod will come with a bushing tool to make take down easier, but it is not required. The "Ultra" (3 inch barrel) and "Pro" (4 inch barrel) sized models will most often require a tool for take down. If you loose the Factory Kimber tool just take a paper clip and bend the tip of it and you have another tool.HarleyDave wrote:TAM, well I've got the new Kimber super carry from custom shop that I purchased last month and it still does require the tool I think. When I've disassembled it, whole two times, there is a small whole where I insert the tool. Am I doing something wrong.
Personally, I bought ONE OF THESE for my Kimber Ultra, and I keep it with my other "gun tools." I still have the original takedown tool in the case, but this other one is easier to use.
Here's how it works:
