yup, i was about to spend 1k on an ultra cdp 2 and i read this thread and it was enough to make me second guess the decision and i ended up holding off.RoyGBiv wrote:If I had ever considered buying a Kimber, this thread, especially this post right here, has convinced me otherwise.LTUME1978 wrote:I am getting the same response from Kimber. My Super Carry Pro went back to the factory almost two weeks ago. It had a long list of issues even after 600 rounds of break in (they wanted me to go to 800 rounds but I had enough of wasting my money at 600 rounds). There was so much wrong with the pistol that I asked for my money back. They initially told me that they would refund my purchase price and asked for the receipt. Then, they told me that the lady that runs the factory would have to look at the pistol first to make a determination and she would not be back until the 18th. They are also now acting like they don't want to refund my money. I told them that I used Winchester white box, federal ball and blazer brass ball for the break in. They told that none of that ammo was any good. They would not explain why and expected me to use $1 per round self defense ammo to break in the pistol (they are out of their minds).
I can tell anyone that is considering a Kimber to look at something else.
Sorry for your troubles. Thanks for the warnings.
Not so much due to the issues discussed in the tread, because any company can have some problems. But because of how their CS has handled it by telling the poster to use more expensive ammo and break it in longer.
