I just bought the pistol and have not had a chance to shoot it yet. The counter guy at Ace Sporting Goods in Washington, PA could not give a highr recommendation as he owns and carries one while working at the shop.

Guys at Ace know their stuff. Does Kimber recomend a breakin period? With any 1911, I say try a few different boxes of ball before you run hollow points through, and then make sure it likes a particular load.

More shooting = more rane time = more fun :)

Yes, booklet stated a break in period. Eagle FMJ's already bought and will try out this weekend.

I've a Kimber Custom Classic that shoots like a dream. I don't think I've ever had a malfunction with it. I got it used so I can't speak to the break in.

They're nice guns! About 4 years ago my neighbor had a new one that would slam fire and go full auto right out of the box (saw it happen), and (almost unfortunately) they fixed that right away.

Just shot the Kimber SCP today. As mentioned earlier I used American Eagle Ful Metal Jacketed bullets. All shots were of semi-rapid fire to test functioning.

Not one jam, mis-fire, or any problem at all. Pistol shot like a dream and is very accurate.

A Keeper!!!

I have a 4" TLE/RL II. Good nightstand gun for me (I carry a S&W 1911 stainless - less bulky than this). 8)

Gotta nice Ultra Covert II as well, for pocket carry. I NEVER would have splurged for the Crimson Trace grips seperately, but as part of the factory package, they're alright! Pictured here with my OTHER pocket carry - Taurus 605

Nice equiptment there!!

I am considering the Crimson Trace Laser grips, similar to yours. Any opinion on them, besides the expense? :)

They DO work as advertised (the point & aim is true, but if you're a righty, & USED to indexing your trigger finger along the frame, you WILL end up BLOCKING the laser! :oops:) and the battery life seems quite good. Still on the original battery though - can't wait to see how much of a bear they are to change... :-?

My CT Lasergrip on my LCP goes through about a battery a year. CT will send you replacement batteries for free (once a year). Didn't take much to change, at least in that application. Nice product. Nice guns btw!
