kimber ultra carry 2 (5/5) | Apr 18, 2011 | Stacey Dellapenna | Brandon Mi US |
| Right out of the box,This pistol started Cranking them out shooting golden sabers,not even one jam occured.I had a little field stripping problem,due to tight tolerances, but got passed all that.this is my third Kimber,such a fine piece of machinery,with all this feedback im hearing,I sure hope i never run into these problems,and ive only put 250 rounds into my breakin period.I love my Kimber ultra carry 2.Good luck to those who have their problems,lets hope customer service gets better from what ive been reading/hearing . | ||||

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. | ||||

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. |

matt (5/5) | Jul 3, 2008 | matt davis | florence al US |
| i bought this gun thinking that it would only be a carry gun and would not be accurate at more than 7 yards.BOY was i wrong!!! I shot a 5in group at 75feet!!!! the first time i shot it.i have a glock with a matchgrade barrel and it has a 4inch barrel,lets just say that i dont shoot anywhere near what i shoot with this kimber.yes it does jam and it locks back when the last round is in the chamber and wont fully close but after it is broke in you wont have that problem.i rate this 5 stars because of how accurate this gun is. | ||||

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'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. | ||||

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. | ||||

| Nice gun, field stripping instructions in the manual are extremely poor. Took a chunk of my flesh in middle finger trying to follow manual. Internet offers videos that make field stripping seem like childs play. Thank god for them. | ||||

smoove gun (4/5) | Sep 7, 2010 | Seria "LV" | Lake Charles LA US |
| Got me one of them thare stainless Ultra Carry II in 2004. At first there were feed and ejection problems o' plenty. The spring assembly kept unscrewing loose during firing and sometimes the rod would fall out. I was so disappointed for all this unreliability in a $800+ gun. I can still hear the laughs now. Everytime my Kimber fell apart, so did my reputation and pride. If I didn't hear the rod ping the deck, I would've lost the dang thing. I called Kimber and the nice lady sent me a new spring assembly. Everything has been smoove since then. Certain hollowpoints get snagged on the steep ramp if the tips ain't smoove. Accuracy? The gun can shoot better than I can see. These 3 inch groups at 25 yards I read about, dang I can't even see a 3 inch object to aim on at 25 yards. I have a tough time centering small targets on the HUGE tritium sights. On the other hand, I ain't hardly ever missed a torso sized cardboard target at that distance with this combo, even at high rates o' fire. Not to brag, but if I take my time, even at 25 yds, I get 'em in the "A" zone every time, 95% of the time. I reckon I could be more precise with a thin blade up front and narrow gaps in the rear. When I compare the trigger to other people's guns, usually ones commonly issued by the police and such, the Kimber makes it a lot easier to shoot well, ain't no wait in the trigger while I hold sight picture, I tap it, and the gun spits out a bullet somewhere behind the front sight post. I heard that beginners ought not start with a single action 1911 though because beginners tend to lay a finger on the trigger and press before they get a good sight picture. I'd give this gun 5 stars if it could shoot 16,000,000 rds without replacing this or that, like a Glock. I'd give a Glock 5 stars if it could feel like this gun. | ||||

so far, so good... (3/5) | Apr 9, 2008 | patrick crean | oakville CT US |
| just bought my kimber uc and mostly i love it. i'm still in my 500 round breakin, but the way i shoot that should be over soon. i would say it jams once every 3 mags worth now, but it was much worse at the beginning. that being said, the recoil is excellent, the laser is so accurate it's scary, and the gun makes me a much better shot. it's my first kimber, and i love to shoot it. once the jam problem is resolved, it will definately be my primary carry weapon. | ||||
