My newest Kimber (a pre-series II) Pro Carry

[wtfd661]

Here is my newest Kimber, it's a pre-series II (or sometimes know as a series I) Pro-Carry. I now have a Ultra (3" barrel), a Pro (4" barrel), and a Custom (a 5" barrel). I haven't been able to get out and shoot it yet, I just got it yesterday. The is no wear any where on this gun that I can find, it appears to have been bought and placed in a safe. Once I get out and shoot it I will post a range report. Here it is and some pics of all 3.

Very nice, man. That's quite an investment you have there. I'm impressed. Always wanted to get a Kimber, but whenever I put the money together, I find another Glock I can't live without. Anyway, congrats on the new purchase.

Wow, that is one beautiful set of weapons, do they call this Gun Rich?

Beauties!

Do you prefer the series 1 Kimbers for any particular reason?

Very nice group!

I have a Kimber Pro Elite from the phase I custom shop days (1999 manufacture). I'm happy with it.

Enjoy your fine harem!

Very nice, I too prefer the Series I Kimbers...

Beauties!

Do you prefer the series 1 Kimbers for any particular reason?

Yes, they are just better finished, built when they had higher quality and w/o the EE and shwartze safety.

No Schwartz safety on the pre-series 2.

They are nice guns. The only problem I see is what you said in your post. They are safe queens. Shoot the heck out of that thing.

No they aren't safe queens, the Tactical Ultra II is my main off duty CC and the TLE II I'm still breaking in (can't afford the .45 ammo right now ). I have put several hundred rounds through the TLE II so far and zero issues (just like the thousands of rounds I've put through the Tactical Ultra II, it was the first Kimber I bought). What I said was the Pro Carry, that I just got yesterday, looked to have been a safe queen as I could not find any true wear on it. LOL, trust me I love shooting my Kimbers .

As far as the pre-series II vs the series II, as I have not shot it yet, the only thing I can say is that as far as fit, finish, craftsmanship it appears to be the same between all of my Kimbers. No real difference that my uneducated eye can tell. And I'm not sure that it will out shoot my other two. The last time the I had the TLE II out (last week) I put 100 rds through a single 2" hole (except for 2 fliers that were approximately 3" off center) at 7 yrds (I know it was not a great distance, but I'm still playing around with it, "breaking it in" ).

I will post a range report as so as I can, but I have a VERY busy next 2 weeks of work. So not sure how soon I can get out .

Thanks for the comments.

Nice collection of Kimber's! Those are some nice looking guns.

Looks great, I don't think you'll be needing the ultra anymore..I got dibs.

I want an ultra carry II SOOOOoooo bad. In my opinion, they are the most beautiful handguns out there.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Very nice kimbers! I'm jealous! I'm still wanting a 4" barrelled 1911 to use as my daily carry sometime in the future. Just gotta save up!

I take my hat of to you sir for having nice firearms and actually shooting them.

I too am waiting for the price of .45 to go down. Cant get myself to run through the last 500 rounds I have.

Great lookin kimbers. I'm digging that Procarry

 

[Jim McKalip]

Kimbers are like drugs. They become addictive. Congrats on a nice collection.​

Congrats on the Kimber. They're nice. Just be careful..... if "series 1" isn't stamped into the gun, you're not supposed to call it a series 1 gun. Ask me how I know.... oh, wait..... maybe that only applies to Colts.....
