picked this up yesterday, I now own a 1911





Kimber Pro Carry II 4in barrel


I'm in love

I love Kimbers. I want one really bad. I've got a buddy that has one of the older Kimber CustomII's (I think) and that is a great shotting 1911.

thanks guys got to shoot today...lot of fun ...dam that thing shoots straight .... I wish take down was a little easier but I'm in love .... now I just need a couple of those 10 round mags and I will have gained 2 more rounds in my carry piece (I currently carry a beretta cougar in .45 8 +1) plus it's thinner..... I do need to switch the sites but I love this gun

Very nice. I carry a full size Kimber TLE/RL II. Sweet shooter never a problem ever.

Be careful reinserting the slide stop when reassembling so you don't become member of the "idiot scratch" club !

Let me guess, it has one of those full length guide rods in it? You probably can change the recoil spring guide rod to a GI "short' rod, but you would want to test it since it is a carry gun. That would make tear down easier.

What sights are you thinking about?

Novak sights?

My Colt rebuild is getting a 10-8 rear and a Novak gold bead front. I have been told that they are better for old fart eyes. Yes, I am now in that class.
