bignic83 0 Posted November 21, 2014 Just bought this for my wife as her personal carry. Kimber Ultra Carry II CDP .45 ACP, any thoughts? I know there are a lot of Kimber haters out there, but this thing fits her perfectly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted November 21, 2014 Congrats. Just make sure you run it through its paces before using it for carry. I'm assuming she has fired a compact .45 before and doesn't mind the recoil? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BullzeyeNJ 104 Posted November 21, 2014 The officers length 1911 can be a pill with its ejection pattern. Many of them have a tendency to eject brass at the shooters forehead randomly. Not all the time but enough to be annoying and distracting. Hopefully your Kimber isnt prone to this inherent flaw of the short 1911 in 45acp. Curious to the range report after you get the first 100-150 rounds through it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meissama 1 Posted November 21, 2014 If its a carry get to the range asap and shoot it out from several hundred rounds. Make sure you see if it has flaws. If that isn't an option and ur handy with polish and high grit sandpaper I'd recommend polishing up any internals that make contact just to make sure u reduce hangups as much as possible.

T Bill 649 Posted November 21, 2014 Hope she has shot a 45ACP before. Lot of firepower in a little package. Teach her how NOT to limp wrist that puppy. Good Luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD2K 115 Posted November 21, 2014 Congrats!! I'm assuming she's shot .45 APC already...if not she'll get used to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bignic83 0 Posted November 21, 2014 Congrats!! I'm assuming she's shot .45 APC already...if not she'll get used to it Got that worked out. If .45 is too much in the compact, I will take the 45 and get her the same in 9 LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted November 21, 2014 Got that worked out. If .45 is too much in the compact, I will take the 45 and get her the same in 9 LOL Its not just the strength of the recoil but the ability to get back on target effectively. 9mm can be a bit snappy as well. Though I've never shot it out of a 1911 Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sof 0 Posted November 21, 2014 I hope she appreciates your sacrifice. If you get really lucky she won't like the 9 either and you'll have to take that one too. Candidate for husband of the year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appreciate all the feedback from everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
