Back again. I inadvertently gave 3 stars last time, when I meant five. This is my third post. (read earlier posts) I am approaching 1500 rounds through this pistol. No further jams, stove-pipes, or FTF, FTE. I fired 230g ball until about 750 rounds fired. Since then have fired a mix of ball and JHP. No problems with the JHP's in probably 300 rounds fired. Like the 230g Speer Gold Dot, but have not found good ballistic data. (Seems to be the sh*t for snub .38) |

UPDATE to my previous comment about "What a disappointment!" (5/5) | Apr 14, 2008 | Dean E. | Portland OR US |

Previously, I wrote that this gun malfunctioned, not feeding, jamming etc and basically "stinks." Well after reading Bill's reply I kept the gun and did the break in. I'm now at about 600 rounds and the gun is firing much better! I do get some jams and failure to feed but I think it's due to the blazer ammo that I using at the range (have to use that "clean" ammo at this range). The good news is that I found a hollow point that seems to work perfectly with this gun! I've fired 72 rounds and not one jam or misfeed. I'm using Federal's hydr-shok 165grain. Less recoil too. It's a very smooth shiny bullet that is somewhat hexagon shape at the tip so it doesn't get jammed on the "loading ramp" of the barrel (my theory). My feeding problems were at the ramp. They're expensive at over a buck a pop but for self-defensive who cares. I'll keep testing and fire 150 rounds before I have almost complete confidence in this ammo for self defense carry. As far as accuracy this is a nice shooter. |

Very Satisfied (5/5) | Sep 28, 2008 | marcus miller | st. cloud mi US |

I recently purchased the crimson ultra carry II. I am 325 rounds into the 500 round break-in period. During the first 75 rounds I had 3 failure to feed's - the slide locked open mid way through the magazine. Since then, the pistol has smoothed out. It has not jammed once. It is more accurate than I can shoot. Both the sights and laser were on right out of the box. The take down and reassembly takes a little getting used, but really isn't an issue once you've done it a few times. Still shooting 230 grain ball for the initial break-in, as recommended by Kimber. Will switch soon to JHP rounds soon. |
