best of both worlds (5/5) | Jan 23, 2012 | William Russell Holt | Taylorsville Ut US |
| I have ben shoting 1911s for 40 years and have shot almost all the curent and most of the ones no longer on the market. This is the best of all I have shot. Mine has crimson trace grips and I can keep a swinging target rocking until out of ammo. I trust my life to this little weapon and would like to own more Kimber products. | ||||

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. |

Bad to the Bone (4/5) | Dec 27, 2007 | V. Jones | Garland TX US |
| I just bought the Kimber UC II and I have put about 200 rounds through it without any jams. It is lightweight and very accurate as others have stated. The only problem I have is that the shells are sometimes ejected straight back into my face rather than to the side. But overall this is my carry handgun from now on and I am comfortable trusting my life to this Kimber. | ||||

Annonymous (3/5) | Feb 10, 2007 | Annonymous | Buffalo NY US |
| 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. | ||||

3rd KIMBER................. (4/5) | Aug 18, 2010 | Mr Steve | Tampa FL US |
| I have this pistol in addition to a Kimber Compact Custom and a Raptor. This ultra is certainly not as smooth as the other two but it is a very sweet shooter IF you find the right ammo/magazine combination. That is the key. Wilson mags work fine in the others but not in the ultra. Interesting enough, the cheaper Italian mags like Meggars and ACT MAG work flawlessly. The money factor has to be considered also. Springfield makes several models that are on par with this pistol and easier to disassemble. No pesky L shaped pin for the recoil spring. But the Kimber seems to be smoother and fits the hand nicely whereas the Springfield has its share of hard edges. Remember that this is not a SIG but this is also a slightly different type of pistol. Want high mileage? Get a SIG. Want cheaper selection? Go to a Springfield. Want a smooth shooter that covers most bases? Get a Kimber. Use 230 gr Speer for the best action feeding. Any pistol will have its share of hang-ups but alot feel (including me lately) that when one spends over $800 for a high line pistol..........it should not have any burps or misfeasance. SIGS or even the ridiculously priced HK's don't falter one bit so why can't Kimber get on the ball and reduce these 'break-in' jams? A Kimber is classy and alswys stands out in a crowd. You cannot go wrong with this very concealable pistol. | ||||

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. | ||||
