​@Dogglegg My Rapide Black Ice was well past break in and a total piece of shit, just like the other Kimber 1911 I had.

Another vote for 1000rnd review. I’m a big Kimber fan and here’s why: I commanded a unit in Afghan for a year and we wanted to get a commemorative pistol. Kimber customer service was outstanding! They bent over backwards to produce what we wanted, beautiful engraving on a 1911 slide and grips, great price, shipped to FFLs literally all over the country. Ms Kosar is a gem in their custom gun shop. Colt hung up on us twice from overseas. Also own a TLE II, brother owns one, we love them, no issue. Semper Fi

This Kimber certainly give me budget WC vibes! Let's see it go 1000 rds...

I can share a 500 round review-I have shot this gun for 500 rounds and experienced no malfunction of any kind. It is a great gun. It is light, very comfortable in my hands and very accurate. It is the best 1911 gun I have owned thus far. If you search for it you can find it for less price. I got mine for $1450, new in the box, never used.

I think Kimber found the sweet spot with this one. This definitely needs a 1000 round review.

Why are optic mounts so difficult for these huge gun companies? And fuck the plates too. Just give us an RMR/Rmsc footprint for direct mounting and good screws, without removing the rear sight.

@ElainesDomain

@klee1410

because trijicon rmr's weren't actually designed to go on handguns originally and hence a number of full sized guns (like 1911/2011) have slides that are actually more narrow than distance between the 2 rmr screw holes, which necessitates a plate. Yes, you could go rmsc direct mount, but there's literally ONE optic that's remotely close to full size that mounts to that cut: the regular holosun eps.

@machongwei7082

23 күн бұрын

Have you ever thought about the length in between the rear sights and the cartridge extractor? That’s where the optics gonna be placed, and in my opinion, currently 99% of the market pistols just simply doesn’t have enough space to both simply and securely sit the optics there. So those big companies came with a bunch of alternatives fixes(like take the entire rear iron sights off so that gives more length) to avoid change the entire manufacturing line. Things like that I would say just look at canik mete series, simply make that space bigger and all problems solved.

Handled one at a PSA, felt incredible and super smooth. Was going for $1200 at the time… Very interested in a 1k review!!!

Only put about 300ish rounds through mine so far but absolutely perfect. Has been my edc since day one at the range. Hated the cost but must say absolutely worth it!

Must have filmed this on June 6th. We did have high winds yesterday. Good to see a Kimber that was a good starter on it. Thank you Chris!

Looking forward to the 1000 round review. I saw this one in my LGS and was super impressed.

I have a Kimber, had a few issues after break in. Took it back to the store I purchased it from and they sent it to Kimber and everything was fixed, runs great now and haven't had any issues since.

My first 1911 was an older Kimber Pro TLE/RL in 45ACP it and it is a sweet gun. I love it so much that I got a Wilson Combat Professional. I've alwayd wanted a 1911 in 9mm. My buddy has this gun and after firing it I put my old Kimber on consignment to get one. I'd like to see something to go full 1000. My buddy's seem to have feed ramp issues. Granted some polishing might deal with it. I was getting some last round no hold open when I ran it. I asked about it and he stated he hadn't cleaned it. I chalked it up to not being in cleaned in well over 700+ rounds which I'd never do as a 1911 owner.

Nice would love to see a 1000 round review of the kimber ds 1911. And holeie shit you are fast with any gun brother you sir put some rounds down range wish i could afford to shoot as much as you do

Yes do the 1000 round review. I’ve had one for about a year and while finicky with some ammunition (Remington mostly) it has been reasonably reliable if lubed.

I used to have a Kimber custom Gold Match 2, I liked it a lot.

Kick ass. I think the price is down quite a bit by now, Kimber makes solid guns! This is the one I've been waiting for! I used to carry 1911 but my eyes got old and I had to transition to an optic which at the time meant G19 MOS only. We've had more companies produce optics ready guns since then but thank gosh the 1911/2011 companies are catching on! I'm eager to acquire one but it'll be a few more months. There's nothing more accurate with a flash sight picture than a good 1911.

Love mine !

I picked up one at the gun store, slide felt really rough, I know some oil would go a long way with helping that, but just felt cheap compared to the C2. I will stick with my Staccato for 3 to 4 hundo more. Thanks as always for your great videos and opinions.

Only negative, it does have some MIM in it. In time, I will correct this through Atlas Gunworks. I am still pretty blown away by the SDS MAC 9 DS-No MIM. My hands are a perfect size for MAC 9 DS (tightly braced against the mag well). Some failure to feeds during break-in.
