PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

This is an old thread. You can't post a reply in it. It is left here for historical reasons.Why don't you create a new thread instead?

Thank you from a new Kimber owner!

I am pleased to finally have a need to post to this forum!

Several weeks ago I purchased my first .45, a Kimber Custom Target II. Before purchasing it I spent a fair amount of time lurking in this forum educating myself on the M1911 in general and on Kimbers in particular. So before heading to the range I purchased a couple of Wilson Combat magazines and gave the gun a good cleaning and lub job.

Well I am happy to report that I only had one FTF (second round in the mag and the 16th round into the gun) out of my first 100 rounds!! I racked the slide and had not so much as a hick-up through the remainder of my shoot! Based on what I had read, I was dreading having all kinds of trouble, but fortunately that wasn’t the case and my Kimber has already established itself right next to my Garand in shooting pleasure.

Thank you all for your postings, both looking for help and giving advice. They have made my entry into the 1911 community a joy.

Welcome:

I purchased my first 45 last October, a Kimber Team Match II. I haven't had any problems so far.
