great (5/5) | May 16, 2008 | Dick Diamondstone | Turtle creek Pa US |
| I'm a former Army shooter,with a lot of experience shooting all kinds of pistols, target and otherwise. This is a phenomenal gun. I shoot 50% at 21 feet, 1 & 2-handeed and 50% at 25 yards, all 2-handed. I use reloads that I cut the brass to length for a perfect fit, and I do not have jams at all. The gun needs cleaned when you're done shooting, but as a former Army shooter, that's the habit I'm in. My groups are under 1" at 21 feet, and at 25 yards I regularly shoot all 28 shots (4 clips) 8 ring or better on a standard 25 yard match target. I only mention all this because I get tired of hearing people at the range say their gun (any gun) isn't accurate. Get a few shooting lessons, guys...it ain't the gun! | ||||

Ultra Carry Ammo (3/5) | Jan 3, 2008 | Franklin Clark | Odessa Te US |
|
Owning a Ultra Carry 2 in the 45ACP it states in the owners manuel to use "Ball nose loads Only" I have ran several JHP 230 grain Winchester loads through it. I've only ran 235 rounds through it and have experienced 3 feeding jams. I know the break in period is around 500 rounds. I was wondering if anyone else is running JHP through their 45ACP and has any info from Kimber Mfg. in using this type load for self defense. I also removed the slide and sent it back in to Kimber and had the 3 white dot sight installed I'm glad I did it has deffinetly improved my shooting skill scoring 220 out of 260 on the shooting range. |

Crimson Carry II (5/5) | Sep 7, 2009 | Jeff Holland | Bountiful UT US |
|
These short barreled guns MUST be gripped correctly... or FTE (Stovepipe) will occur... This may be the cause of the "six jams" in 250 rounds... muzzle flip must be controlled. I have a LEO friend who has carried his fore about five years... and had zero problems... he shoots a lot and he he is very good. I currently carry a Kimber Crimson II and I am happy with it... |

Love it (5/5) | Nov 3, 2008 | Jerry Cool | Sartell MN US |
| As an ex-cop and former Marine, I have a quite a bit of shooting experience. I took my Colt Series 70 .45 with a 5 inch barrel and my Kimber Ultra Carry II Stainless to the range. I have had no malfunctions with my Kimber during the break in period but at 25 feet my Kimber had a baseball size group which was better than I could due with my trusty old Colt. | ||||

15 yards (5/5) | Feb 26, 2008 | John Smith | Denver Co US |
| Wow, 15 yards, that's amazing. What kind of accuracy do you get at 16 yards? I have an airsoft gun that shoots better than that. | ||||

comflg (5/5) | Dec 7, 2009 | John Walz | Fort Myers FL US |
| I have just recieved my Ultra carry II I have shot just 200 rounds through it and have not had any miss fires or fail to eject problems. I have the crimson site on it could not be more pleased. This gun carries easy and is easy to conceal. It takes a little to get used to the power of the 45 cal but the more I use it the better it gets. | ||||

Best compact I have owned (3/5) | Feb 12, 2008 | kyle Hilsinger | maricopa az US |

I got my kimber uc 2 last week and, so far, I am very impressed. I use it as my concealed carry weapon and it works great. It is light weight and very acurate. I will definately trust my life to this handgun. Just a comment to the guy complaining about its acuracy over 15 yards, it is a compact gun with a short barrel shooting a .45 caliber bullet, it is not made to be a long range target gun, but everything I have ever learned about guns is that a lot of the time bad grouping has more to do with the shooter than the gun. The wand is only as good as the magician. |

Fine weapon (4/5) | Apr 2, 2010 | Larry Matthias | Spokane Wa US |
| Experienced a few FTL because of the slide stop engaging after 3 - 4 rounds fired. It appears that the Remington green box 230g round nose ammo is moving forward slightly in the mag after firing, inadvertently engaging the stop. I'm replacing the slide stop with a new one being sent from Kimber. Accuracy is excellent. It held its own against my Ed Brown Special Forces full sized 1911. I've given the weapon a rating of "4" until I see if the FTL situation is fixed. A CC weapon MUST fire every time! | ||||

Great compact 1911 (5/5) | Sep 20, 2013 | Lt4545 | Albuquerque Ne US |
| This is one great 1911 for someone looking for a pistol of this type! I looked mine over and found thr fit and finish consistently excellent. Then time to load up and shoot it. Now here I was very pleasantly surprised 2 mags full of magtech 230gr. Hardball was extremely smooth right thru it with no ftes or ftfs Plus the two best surprises of all. The excellent trigger! It's very smooth ,no creep no grittiness at all , and felt just about perfect a @4.5lbs. Then the second and most noticeable plus going for this pistol. I found that it was surprisingly very easy to control and handle for a 1911this small and light .at least for me I thought felt recoil was quite easy to my hand or hardball.i plan on replacing the kimber mnfg. Magazines with the correct Wilson combat 47 ds.i find its easy to carry at 25 ozs empty. I love this little 45. Being my first kimber I am so happy with this ultra carry that I've ordered and rec'd a full size custom11 and fit it ith Wilson combat mags as well. I feel that for an affordable 1911 of great quality,made in America kimber is the gold standard! No I don't work for kimber! Or did I get any special price. I had to wait months to find a store with one in stock forveach purchase plus I paid the going retail price both times.albeit the lowest I could find either locally or on the web. I recommend kimbers to friends and family with confidence.just found some reasonably priced range ammo and can't wait to get my new 1911(kimber) to the range! | ||||
