Good small carry gun (3/5) | Jul 8, 2006 | Anonymous | |
|
Traded a Mossberg 590 for a slightly used Kimber Ultra Carry II w/night sights. Put 350 rounds downrange, Remington Golden Sabers. Shot at 25 yds, 15 yds, & 7 yds. 50 rounds per cycle, going from 25-7yds. (FBI qualification course) Usually hit paper about 40 times. Maybe 25 rounds on target w/ 4-5 in the black. Gun can shoot straight but it is a bit of a handfull. Approximately 10-15 minor malfunctions all due to the horrible magazines Kimber provides. They are trash, throw them out immediatly. Overall tight small package. Short range use, inside 15yds. |

| I've shot many different handguns but the ultra carry 2 is my favorite! It is deadly accurate up to 15 yards and conceals very well. | ||||

Excellent Choice (5/5) | Aug 8, 2008 | Anonymous | |
| I'm a police officer in a large Missouri city, and was searching for a good reliable/compact/light weight/powerful back-up pistol. After researching pistols on the internet, and talking with people much more knowledgable than myself, including our department armorer, I chose the Kimber Ultra Carry II, in blue, with wooded grips, and 3-dot fixed night sights. I've put approximately 250 rounds of ball ammo thru it, with no jams or malfunctions thus far. For a small pistol, it's amazingly accurate at 20-25 yards. Statistically, most shootings occur within 10-15 feet of one's target. So this pistol fits the bill. | ||||

Great gun (5/5) | Dec 30, 2008 | Anonymous | |
| This is the first Kimber I have owned. I could not believe how great this gun is. I shot 100 rounds through the gun today. I can't believe the accuracy of a gun this short. I was also impressed with how little the gun kicks. This was quite surprising. Great trigger as well. | ||||

See my ealier Sept 08 post. I am just shy of 700 rounds. (Been a cold winter in MN and haven't gotten to the range as much.) I have only had one additional jam since the last post while a friend was firing. Believe that was likely to do to limp wristing. Otherwise no problems. Have introduced various JHP rounds ranging from 185g to 230g without issue. Haven't found good data on balistics/ terminal performance out of 3' inch barell, so still searching for a JHP carry load to test in bulk. Recommendations welcome. No + P ammo fired. All standard pressure. Bought two additional Kimber factory mags. Both have worked fine, although others recommend Wilson mags. Have not yet changed springs and plan to keep shooting until it becomes a noticeable issue. Want to find the outer range of reliability on that and then will post the results. Until then, will continue to carry my snubbies. Still extremely pleased with this pistol. Out here. |

None Better (5/5) | Jul 26, 2010 | Anonymous | |
| I have this weapon without the sights, which makes it that much more concealable. Smoothest shooter I have, even one-handed. I have a full size 1911 that isn't this smooth. | ||||

More Than Adequate (5/5) | Jul 23, 2007 | A. Nonymous V | Wa US |
| I do not have a problem with how the weapon shoots. Grouping at the effective range is very good. I don't believe we carry a compact to use at 50 yards? It is accurate enough to hit what you're aiming at at that distance, but most confrontations take place within 21 feet (7 yards or less). I switched to Chip McCormick match grade magazines. The magazine follower has to be modified or the last round will feed like a Poseidon missle. Carrys well, shoots well, performs as designed. | ||||

| I have several handguns and find the kimber to be accurate only when at the range shooting shot after shot off a bench at 15 yards or less. Beyond 15 yards the shot placement is all over the place within a 12" group. For personal protection and concelled carry the gun is OK for accurancy within 15 yards but becomes questionable beyond that! Remember - a lesser caliber - more accurate shot placement - is better then a larger caliber in this situation. Bersea makes a handgun that is more accurate and at a third of the price of a kimber. Kimber makes a good handgun overall but in my opinion is overrated for the price you pay. Note! On a positive I have fired over 2000 rounds with this handgun and have had very few jammed rounds. At the ones jammed were with reloaded ammo. | ||||

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. |
