I bought some black VZ's for it before it came in and cannot take the original grips off it. I have not started my Custom collection as of yet but when I do my Super Carry will not have to hide. It is a beauty.

Yup thats right , its a bit*h to carry concealed ... Why ? 'cause every time you see somebody you know you wanna pull it out & show off. It comes with the crimson trace laser grips, and as I found out (to late) you can also get the green trace. These are zeroed in @ 50 ft but you can make adjustments as you wish. I tried to make a swap in grips with CT but they won't hear of it (pistols less than a month old) Oh well for me . This pistol is --> SMOOTH. I can't think of a better pistol to buy without spending THOUSANDS of dollars more Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917240734142764803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-64533547730369521592013-12-16T15:01:28.871-06:002013-12-16T15:01:28.871-06:00Got my super carry pro on cabelas gun site used sl...Got my super carry pro on cabelas gun site used slightly and came with CC LAZER GRIPS and four extra wilson mags for a super price and really like the gun and its looks.Replaced the springs in the gun for my own bench mark and fired about 300 rounds with no problems.Got a crossbreed holster for carry and works better then great.Got a .22 slide kit for it and fired 500 rounds through it with maybe 2 non fires.Save alot of money shooting the .22s and working on the prsentation.Glad to have a Kimber.

I have put 3000+ rounds through the weapon since Jan 1. with no misfires. Also, the paper clip tool is not needed to break done the gun. For some reason there was not one in my box when I bought it. I have taken the gun apart after every trip to the range and have had no problems at all. However, tool would probably make the process a little smoother.

Inlaws have cheaper 1911s and I like the reliability of the lock. If needed, I admit you would have a tough time in the field without a tool to lock the spring!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555362931401638160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-28842425640520734782012-10-09T14:02:52.672-05:002012-10-09T14:02:52.672-05:00Lengthy break in periods are not the answer. From...Lengthy break in periods are not the answer. From my experience shooting till I have some confidence in the gun then practice immediate action drills frequently. In aviation one learns quickly that preflighting multiple times prior to a mission does not guarantee anything. I have a couple hundred rounds through my new Super Carry Pro. It is replacing a Nighthawk Custom Talon II. My other current Kimber is a Ultra CDP II CT. I love both weapons. I have been spoiled by carrying their alloy frames. I have faith in them and my training. I will never trust any gun without me spending some time training with it. Everyone on the internet has their oppinion. Unfortunately Kimber does not get to do a competency check prior to someone purchasing their pistols. Last I checked Wilson Combat and Nighthawk Customs still have their customer support personnel. They expect issues and will work to resolve them. Kimber does the same for less than half the price.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-27928700479967260652012-08-26T18:26:54.039-05:002012-08-26T18:26:54.039-05:00Mine shoots great and feels good to carry.

Have seen and shot some bad Kimbers, but this is not one of them. Very comfortable to shot and carry.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-78324331678139989002012-06-10T11:15:19.339-05:002012-06-10T11:15:19.339-05:00Couldn't agree more...I have an Ultra Carry II...Couldn't agree more...I have an Ultra Carry II with about 200 rounds through it and have Never had the slightest problem.

Kahrs are tight and they only recommend 4 boxes. Kimber ought to back off their tolerances a ten thousandths of an inch which might also lower the price a couple hunderd plus reduce the recommended breakin to 7 boxes. Still a really nice looking 1911 with a lot of custom features for half or less the custom price. I'll put one on my list but for now my next .45 acp is most likely a Sig P220 Equinox.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-52985472759068511932011-12-20T00:07:51.115-06:002011-12-20T00:07:51.115-06:00Great article and advice.

She is a Texan and really wanted her Kimber! My Uncle has the same Kimber and loves it! Some of the reviews I have read were like you said (negative) but after reading this I feel confident in getting this Kimber!
