Great Accuracy (5/5) | Oct 24, 2010 | Mr. John | Eureka CA US |
| I was surprised at the 25 yd. accuracy. seven round groups of 6" with 230 grain round nose reloads. no jams, smooth cycling. Cleaned and lubricated before before 1st and after each shooting session. Tight grip helps. | ||||

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! | ||||

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. |

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! | ||||

Excellent Weapon (5/5) | Jan 21, 2010 | Ms Blankenship | Monroe NC US |

I am a female who uses my Ultra Carry for personal protection. No better weapon on the market however, it is not for an inexperienced shooter. Small and compact it is as accurate a weapon as I have ever used. I ran my 500 break in rounds with no difficulty. My son had never fired a handgun before and at 25 yards his first 3 rounds were headshots. I am more than pleased with this gun and trust my life to my Kimber. To anyone who is talking about the 15 yard range and self defense, at 15 yards it's not self defense in this state unless they are shooting at you. I have never seen a bedroom that was 45 feet long that one might need to shoot someone in for self defense. However, for personal protection in a home environment, its deadly accurate. |

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. | ||||

Deadly Accurate (5/5) | Sep 10, 2006 | Richard Rini | Terre Haute IN US |
| Right out of the box this pistol shot OK but jammed repeatedly about 15 out of 100 rounds. I sent is back to Kimber America Custom Shop and their engineers found it couldn't be fixed because the slide was completely out of specifications. They put a new slide on it and custom polished everything while adjusting the extractor too. Got it back - no jams for hundreds of rounds. AND now shoots GREAT: .5 inch to 1 inch groups at 7 to 10 yards. Crisp trigger, fast draw and great ballance. Great gun. | ||||

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... |

Crimpson carry2 (3/5) | Jun 25, 2009 | Michael James | Fayetteville No US |

I have fired 250 rounds through this weapon and I've had six jams. This concerns me. I found that the stock sights were difficult to see firing at a black target so I changed to the night sights. This made a world of difference. AS far as the accuracy goes I put 16 rounds in a 2" hole at 30' away. If I can find out what to do about the jamming issue the gun will do the job. ***** Comments from The Armory. Michael, what you're experiencing with your Kimber is not unusual. That's the reason they say in the owner's manual that there's a 500 round break in period. To increase the accuracy of the Kimber they had to reduce the slop or "tighten the tolerance". The only drawback to this is that you have a break-in period. The tighter tolerance that Kimber went for increases the accuracy that you say you're enjoying. I would say that after the 500 round break in period the reliability will improve drastically. And of course any small frame pistol requires a firm grip which is normal. It becomes more noticeable on some of the newer polymer pistols which are lightweight. Overall I have found that all Kimber products are superior once you follow the standard recommended break in periods. Bill G. |

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. | ||||
