I took my three Kimbers to the range today. 5 inch Custom TLE II 4 inch Tac Pro II and Ultra carry II. Not a single FTF or FTE just a great bunch of 1911s shooting as they should. The reason I am posting this thread is because I keep reading in both Glock Talk and the 1911 Forum about all the peoples who are posting about their sad Kimber problems. Since I no longer can post in their forums I just thought I would set the record about my three Kimbers. :)

I had a boss who used to say "You don't get brownie points for showing up to work on time every day." ;)

My Kimber (Pro Carry HDII) has only ever had problems (~5000 rounds through it now) with CCI Blazer ammo. Everything else it chewed right through without a hiccup. For some reason it just REALLY hates that aluminum cased stuff.

CCI makes Blazer brass case also so why not use it?

I ordered two highcap Mags from Natchez for my G23 and I noticed they can't ship the highcap Mags to California. Are you even allowed to own a Glock in California? :)

All of my guns work just fine. They have to, or I get rid of them. :D

Y'know, Tamara, it's telling, when someone is compelled to post that something that ought to work every time it's used actually does- as if that's unusual...

Planes landed safely at LAX today too. :p

I'm glad to know that someone's Kimbers do what they're supposed to. That means one less person I have to wait on when calling customer service sorting out my Kimber nightmares.

Congratulations.

Just wondering if your Kimber "nightmares" are real or just your not understanding your Kimbers?

"not understanding your Kimbers?" LOL

Dennis, is that you? :D

For what they cost I would hope so. :rolleyes: The people I know that have them don't have any problems either. At least I've never seen any when we've been shooting.
