I just bought a new stainless model with Crimson trace laser grips as a new CCW carry choice, I have big hands and like the 7 round mags but found out they make an 8 round mag and ordered 3. Has anyone used these 8 round mags and what are your thoughts? The gun shot fine so far but the fiber optic in the front sight popped out after only a few shots. I called Kimber and they sent me replacement right away at NC. It was an easy fix. Anyone have the same problem?
 
I bought one about a month ago, and I've probably got a box of ammo through it.
So far so good, it shoots nice and where I point it.
So far nothing has fallen off.
Haven't tried the 8 round mags yet.
 
I've had one for a bit more than a year now and it has taken the place of my Shield as my carry gun. Nothing has fallen off or broken so far. I have no experience with the 8 round mags so I can't help there. Mine also has the Crimson Trace laser grips and I really don't like it much, my trigger finger sometimes blocks the laser. I'm very pleased with the gun.
 
I purchased the Cabelas CSE version with the laser grip. The Kimber 8 round magazines have been flawless for me. I did, however, start to experience a few failure to return to battery issues after less than 350 shots. I replaced the oem recoil spring with a heavy duty from Galloway Precision. Reliability has been 100% since. The sights seem regulated for 115gr as mine shoots a bit high with 124 gr.

My EDC is a 9mm XDS. Compared to the Kimber it is easier to control. The Kimber does carry easier. I pocket carry my XDS is a DeSantis pocket holster very comfortably and it is near invisible, and I can easily forget that it is there. The Kimber even more so.
Honestly, I think the reason I don't carry my Kimber is my concern about pocket carrying it in condition 1. It doesn't have a grip safety and my XDS does. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid in this instance.
