OK...hey you ever hear of anyone carrying the super tuck in the middle of the back? Its feels good just sticking it back there..i have love handles and little belly ....G.A.

If that is the only 1911 you own and plan to ever own get the mini tuck, otherwise go for the super tuck. I carry my 3.5" barrel 1911 with my super tuck as well as my 4" and 5" guns depending on which 1911 I choose to carry.

OK...i did not know that.The owners manual said "For proper break in shoot 400 to 500 rounds,230 gr FMJ, cleaning every 100 to 150 "gringop wrote:Understand that with those 400 rounds you are over halfway to changing your recoil spring. I shot a Kimber Compact for a few years, thinking the spring replacement interval was like a full sized gun. One cracked slide later, after talking to Kimber about a replacement, I fully understood that 700 rounds was the replacement interval for a good reason.
After that, when I was shooting my ProCarry on regular basis, I changed recoil springs religiously.
I know your gun is a 3.5" and mine are 4" but the same principle applies. Short barreled, high slide velocity 1911s need strong springs.

OK you and the others before above have convinced me it will be a super tuck at 4 oclock but i am going to get a Snap Slide from him too.ddstuder wrote:G.A.

I would go ahead and get the super tuck rather than the mini. I can use mine for any size 1911 3", 4" and full size 5".
Yeah i took those off when i cleaned it up to go shooting...I think the gun dealer might have put them on it.74novaman wrote:The laser warning almost has me in tears. If the laser is shining in your eyes, "laser radiation" is the LEAST of your health concerns....
Very nice gun.
Thanks for the linkChuckW wrote:Very nice! I am sure that you will enjoy it.
I couldn't help noticing in your disassembly picture that you used the wire like takedown tool provided with the gun for disassembly. In case you weren't aware I thought that I would mention this guy's Ultra tool - http://www.1911ultratool.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
His device perfectly alines the the slide stop with the disassembly notch making field stripping a breeze, something that the Kimber tool doesn't do. I have a Kimber Ultra CDP and can testify that the thing really works. FYI - I have no connection with the guy who makes these.
- I watched the video and am definitly going to order one of these tools. That little hex key that came with the gun is a real pain.I agree with the sights - I am going to have mine changed out also. Too hard for me to align in low light.ddstuder wrote:Congrats!!
I have the same weapon. Got it in December last year, and has been 100% reliable. I have about 1000 rounds through it, and have had no failures at all! I am going to send my slide to Kimber for night sights soon. The laser is cool, but I do not like the black sights on them. I cant see them in low light conditions.
Oh, oh...there is a thread on that very subject that you might want to peruse. Just saying.texjames wrote:You guys that have a Ultra tell me about a holster. I was thinking a super tuck...can it ride mid of the back ok? Would you get a left handed (i'm right handed) but seems easier to get at from mid back.
