Congratulations~! which model did you purchase? I really like the looks and
feel of the new "SIS" gun that Kimber is manufacturing; as it returns to the
original series 1 Kimbers~! :scrutiny: ;)

I could not afford anything more than the Custom II. I will upgrade my next time around! :evil:

A Custom II is a LOT of gun for the money. Seriously, I think they are great shooters. Very accurate, great fit (well finish is subjective, the bluing wears kinda easily), and it has all the goodies that most people want. The fixed sights, in my opinion are excellent. I love the flat, serrated all black sights, great sight picture.
Only thing I'd really want would be frontstrap checkering, so that'd be a TLE w. nightsights. But a Custom II would be what I'd be recommending everyone looking into a 1911 anyways!
Good job, let us know how it shoots when you can! :evil:

The Kimber Custom IIs were the best Kimbers that I ever owned!!! Each and every one of them was flawless in fit and in function. IMHO, the Custom II may well be Kimber's point of rationality...most 1911A1 for the least money.
BM...I agree, that SIS is nice!!! I looked at the Ultra and the Pro on Saturday.

I am just a little nervous as I have never owned a SAO gun before. Will take some getting used to!

I bought a Kimber Custom II a little over a year ago. I am very satified with it's performance so far. I just ordered some cocobolo smooth grips from Brownells to replace the stock rubber ones. I am enjoying it, shooting it and eventually will customize it. One part at a time!
