Carry & Home Defense Handguns.

#1

Post by rodc13 »

Greetings to all from San Antonio!

As another point of introduction, just thought I'd share my primary carry and home defense handguns. At the top of the picture is my Kimber Desert Warrior, sporting an M3X rail light from Insight Technologies. Below is my Kimber Ultra CDP II, my primary carry piece. I typically carry it with one extra mag. I'm currently using a Galco Ultra Deep Cover rig, but am eagerly awaiting the arrival of a Tucker "Answer" and a Brommeland Max Con V. Usual load for both 1911s is Winchester Ranger SXT 230gr. For a BUG, I carry a KelTec P3AT w/ one extra mag, loaded with Speer Gold Dots.

Thanks again to all moderators and contributors who help make this such a great resource.
Cheers,
Rod

Very nice setup rod. I looked at your other pictures and I think the Desert Warrior with the rosewood grips looks very different.....but I like it!

Yes he is. You just have to redefine help.

Haha, Kalrog. I guess you are right. However, I didn't need much convincing about the 1911 platform. I've always wanted one.... my wallet has other ideas. :sad:

Thanks for all the kind words, folks! :grin:

The Ultra CDP II is a great pistol. I shoot a 1911 better than any other semi I've ever tried (I guess I'm just a single-action kind o' guy!), although I had never tried one with a 3" barrel before I got this one.

I must say, I'm very impressed with it. It's very accurate and altogether reliable. Not even any problems during the break-in period, when I ran 500 rounds of 230gr FMJ through. No probs at all feeding Ranger SXTs. And, just like on my Desert Warrior, the fixed sights were just dead on right out of the box. I use only Wilson Combat mags, and they've been perfect, without any of the potential for scarring that mags with a metal follower might have.

I really like having the Ultra as a primary carry. I'm just so confident that if I do my job, it will do the same. And hitting what you aim at, when you need to, is the point of the exercise, after all.

Sorry about aggravating the 1911 bug. There's really only one good thing to do about it -- let it run its course! Indulge yourself 'til you lose the urge! :cool:
Cheers,
Rod

Good man!

I really like my Ultra Carry too. I've had no problems with it at all, and yeah, it shoots like a dream. This isn't the best picture, but here she is:

I've since put the XS 24/7 Big Dot sights on them. Those things are amazing for quick follow-up shots.

I too use the Wilson mags. I'm sure that they've helped this gun stay 100%. It's my primary carry, too, though at times I've begged the wife to let me carry her Sig P229. I love that gun. (She does too, which usually means she's got it, and I don't!)

Mr. Drummy, what calibar is that?
"If a man breaks in your house, he ain't there for iced tea." Mom & Dad.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
