Just bought a Kimber 1911 custom II. I have never owned one before and was wondering if there is any worth while upgrades and if there is anything that is important to know about this gun.

Zerodefect said:-Kimber tactical bump grip safety (this is a must have!!!!! way better feel out of a Kimber, combining this plus trimming the trailing edge of the thumb safeties paddle really makes this gun much quicker out of the holster, no more worries about not actuating the grip safety with a thumb over safety grip. Dropped right in, no fitting, that's why they use MIM, no fitting req.)
