Thats why I waited until after the break in rounds were shot. In fact, well after. Each had 500-700 rounds before the first trip back.anygunanywhere wrote:I have a stainless UC II and a CDP Pro and both are great, reliable handguns. The CDP dislikes aluminum case ammo but other than that I have had no issues. The CDP is my daily carry. The stainless UC II will be my BBQ gun one of these days.
RP, your experience with Kimber is truly inexcusable on Kimber's part. I understand your position.
As with all pistols 1911s must be broken in and ammo choice can be an issue especially with the short barrel versions like the UC II. Limp wristing can affect reliability as well.

It also did not matter what ammo was used. FMJ did feed a little better than JHP but still had problems. Also used all brands as well as reloads. Nothing worked.
As much as I wanted the Kimbers to work, I just could not feel comfotable with reliability to carry one. With my luck that would be when I needed it the most and it wouldn't work.
