My daily carry is a Kimber UC II, and it functions flawlessly with everything I feed it. When I first bought it and took it to the range, I had an issue with the slide locking back on a partially full magazine. Someone told me that it was a problem with some of these pistols having been released with improperly shaped slide stop levers. I called Kimber, and they sent me a new part, which dropped right in. The pistol has functioned perfectly ever since then. I saved the original part, just in case.

Here's the "just in case": Curiously, when the pin on the slide stop lever of my son's Taurus PT1911 broke right in half, I loaned him the part that had originally come with my Kimber, and it works perfectly in his Taurus. Go figure.

In any case, once the new part arrived for the Kimber, I ran 100-150 rounds of FMJ practice ammo through it, plus a box of 230 gr Federal Hydo-Shoks (my carry load), and it still ran beautifully, so I went ahead and started carrying it. Since then, I've run about 700-800 rounds through it, and it has never had any malfunctions since. I'm pretty sure it is reliable.
