Kimbers good for carry or not

[dev_null]

Carried a Kimber Custom Classic for several years, no problems at all once I replaced the crap factory mag with Wilson 47D's. I'd still be carrying it if I hadn't moved (haven't got my Tx CCW yet).

Friend of mine and I own 9 Kimbers between us. We've shot them from day one with no problems. We've even shot them upside down without hicups. I have carried one every day since 2003 and will continue to do so.

Did you guys notice that this thread is over a year old? Oh well, I'll chime in too. I've carried my Kimber Ultra Eclipse now for over 3 years now and have several thousands of rounds through it. Not one hiccup, except during the first hundred rounds, I had like to stovepipes. After that, I have fed it just about every single brand of FMJ, JHP and dirty reloads of varying weights and sizes. Not only has she delivered every time, but she has been super accurate. I get compliments from anybody that shoots it over how naturally it points and how accurate it is. I give two big thumbs up to Kimber for this little beauty!

I own a Kimber Compact CDP II and a Tactical Custom II. These are my two main EDC guns. Both guns were very reliable out of the box, and they get smoother the more I shoot them. I have no reservations about carrying either.

My Glocks all shot out of the box. So have most of my other guns over the last 40 years of carrying. I don't mind a couple hundred rounds for reliability. But a thousand rounds. Not unless they are deducting the cost of the ammo from the price. It should say on the box, "you need a case of ammo to get this sucker to function" no way. My Colts smiths and para's all worked fine after a box or two, if Kimber can't make their guns to shoot after a couple hundre rounds, I would send it back till it did. Sounds like lousy QC, I worked on Jets, and we never told the Air Force this thing won't fly till you run ten or fifteen tanks of jet fuel through it, a gun is a lot less complicated.
