Talk Me Out of Buying a Kimber Super Carry Ultra HD

[maansmit]

I am very close to ordering one. Do your best to talk me out of it or convince me to get something else instead.

Do eeet!

 

[Arthur Dent]

Get a Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 government instead.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Nope, can't do it

Find something similar from Springfield Armory. Kimber is over priced and over hyped

 

[NyleRN]

I can think of at least 3 or 4 1911s I'd buy before any kimber at that price point





<------------this is one of them

 

[maansmit]

I only am interested in a 3-3.5" barrel 1911. Feel free to actually list the 3 or 4 others that you would purchase instead. Vague statements aren't terribly convincing.

Perhaps, but I happen to like my other Kimber quite a bit. Does Springfield make a .45 1911 in that size?

 

[NyleRN]

4" is as short as you want to go in a 1911. Trust me

 

[kawtech87]

4" is as short as you want to go in a 1911. Trust me

/\ This be truth. The 1911 platform was never designed to be that short. It begins to run into timing issues and the sub 4" guns are notoriously hard to get to run properly. Especially when they are packed full of crappy MIM parts that are poorly fitted like new Kimbers

OP check out Springfield ' new RO Compact.

Now to patently wait for Churchmouse.

They seem to love them or hate them! LOL. I just did get a Springfield TRP and also have a Sig C3 and really like and recommend either. But also have a Kimber Stainless Ultra Raptor 2 and the Eclipse Custom 2 and in my opinion both seem to be just as accurate. Don't think it hurts that their both easy on the eyes also. I say go for it and enjoy!

if you can afford it and it's what you want, go for it. Sorry, you asked us to talk you out of it, but i'm not good at that...lol! I think I would like that one, too! You may have already seen this review of it: Super Carry Ultra HD Range Report

Do you shoot your Sig C3 with reloads? Mine seems to be very picky if the ammo diameter is close to the max. spec. and won't fully chamber. I hate to give up on it, last time I had it at the range, I had really good groups...for me, anyway.

Have you considered Schroeder Bauman, manufactured in Fort Wayne? Sounds like the Liberty model is what you might be looking for in regards to size.

I have not up to this point just getting into the reloading game.

Op, Are you actually thinking of carrying a 1911 as your EDC? If not, it's a waste to buy a sub compact gun just to go out and shoot. They have a specific purpose and place. And range toy isn't one of them IMO.

I would plan on using this as an EDC. I like the 1911 platform and would like to stick with it.

This.

I would plan on using this as an EDC. I like the 1911 platform and would like to stick with it.

Then I would go with the Springfield RO compact since you want that platform even though I believe there's a lot better carry options out there considering the size and weight and capacity. But that's another discussion

I have a Super Carry Ultra Plus. I had a few issues but took it to a Gary Growe in Columbus and it runs great. I carry it as EDC. Love the look the feel and all of it.

It is true other fine weapons are out there. Check several out and decide for yourself.
