great review, I am a former deputy sheriff from way back. Retired now and this has been my EDC for the past 6 years. Lots of rounds through mine and it's still a great reliable shooter.
Great review .
Quick and straight to the point for a normal guns owner like me .
great review, I just recently bought my first Kimber and oh boy you can definitely feel the quality that's for sure. Timbers are so tight and finely detailed.
You made a point!!! I fly fish and in wader. Sometimes without waders in hip deep waters with my glock. A plastic gun for the whole day. Never thought about rust. Only that at the end of the day, I field strip my glock and oil the barrel, slide, and some inner springs.
7 years post review I finally decided to buy a Kimber, despite all the bad rap I've been hearing lately. I opted for the Rapide Scorpius in .45ACP since I generally carry appendix...Psych!
Seriously, I bought it for use as a range gun with having it tuned by by local gunsmith in mind. I put 200 rounds through it yesterday expecting more than a few hiccups, but much to my surprise, I only had three malfunctions which I feel could've been self induced since I haven't shot a 1911 for a while, and have been shooting a S&W MP Shield Plus or a H&K vp9sk instead.
The malfunctions were easily resolved by hitting the slide release.
Great review as always, see ya next time.
FWIW, Kimber offers the Ultra CDP II with night sights as standard. It's more expensive, yes, but if you plan to add tritium night sights and ambi safety, the CDP II comes standard with those. It is also a two tone but reversed. The frame is black, the slide is stainless. It also has the "carry melt" treatment to smooth all edges and checkering on the front strap of the grip as well as the backstrap.
I’ve own this firearm for about a month now. I totally enjoy it! I’ve have done a trigger job on it (not that it needed one), and I’ve have changed the grip on it Hogue green laser grip. This is just a joy to own and shoot! Kimber makes high quality firearms. I also bought the Kimber R7 Mako with optic installed. This is another fantastic firearm!
Tip: Carry it in condition one. But leave one in the chamber when you change mags. There is no slide release, and by doing it this way. you won't have to fumble over pulling the slide back again.
I usually have wet hands so I’m glad it’s easy to grab like that. Also for when I’m playin around with it in the bathtub n stuff.
Do not carry this gun without putting about 400 or 500 rounds through it that's when it really starts to shine as a great carry option mine had about 200 rounds through it before it became 100% reliable
That is the testimony of a flawed weapon. If it was machined right it would be reliable from day one. Like other reliable guns are.
Requiring 400-500 shots before it "becomes reliable" is total garbage. You're IQ is so low you don't see that.
I have that same firearm as a CDP, which gives it all the features you noted as missing from your firearm. My only dislike is the two tone. Better all silver, or all black.
Mine was reliable out the box I put 200rd out in hollow points and fmj not one issue
first time watching your reviews short and sweet my man thank you you answered all my concerns, and agreed i wouldnt wear it on a hot day that firearm is to beautiful
Oh yeah, do you carry such a nice gun when working on the farm? You can put Magpul grips on it for $20, have a good holster, and don't fall in the creek while clearing out logs.
Always wondered what happened to Tom Green.
Lachlan McIntosh lmao. Nice.
That joke was old way back, well, when it was old.
Lachlan McIntosh true!
Not even close looking to Tom Green.
Like not even close.

I can agree on it being a very nice gun to carry in hot, humid conditions. The aluminum frame helps prevent rust. Keep the slide wiped off. I always change to after market grips and keep the originals in the box. Grips seem to take (and show) the brunt of wear, keep the originals perfect! I like the grips, so I replaced mine with checkered rosewood that is more or less identical to the original. The silver/black/rosewood combination makes a beautiful gun. When I will be exposing my gun to long hours in a humid climate, then the Kimber stays home and one of my plastic single stack 9mm guns goes along for the ride.
I have the all black Kimber UL TRA CARRY ll with black Crimson Tracer laser grips with also night sights great for at low light or night shooting.
Man I at first thought you were Chris Elliot!!!!
Nice job on this video.
Love my Girl friend Kimber and her Sassy sister Sig P 365.
Like your vids bro!
They’re real nice, carry mine daily appendix.
When you find one of Johnnys classic vids!!
Cool, thumbs up
Thanks, pacaoyala!
@@180SecondIdeasHay Johnny, been watching your chanel for years and love what you do. Finally made my way down to "the area" from up in Michigan. First time down here in Gatlinburg, is there anything you could ease recommend me and the little lady make time to see as a man familiar with the history and hidden gems that you could recommend. Down here for a week and don't want to waste it on tourist crap.
Ps. Oddly enough the gun in this vid just hapens to be the back up carry I chose for this trip. Just thought that was kinda funny.
I just brought my late father's ultra covert 2 home. I'm anxious to try it out.
Fires like a dream. Let us know what you think!
Thanks I will. If I'm buying .45 rounds at a retail outlet is walmart typically the cheapest source? I haven't bought ammo in years and have never bought .45. I'll buy some online later but I don't want to wait for shipping till I have my first outing.
Oh yeah, nothing wrong with Walmart. I buy at Academy sometimes also. Make sure the barrel is clear and have fun! Follow the 4 Rules!
180 Second Ideas finally took it to the range. incredible gun, I was actually more accurate with this than my full size CZ 75. just amazing.
Nice! You gonna carry it?
Yup
If you had to grab it with wet hands.. You'd have a rust issue in the checkering from my own personal experience its a bitch to get rid of rust in those grooves or checkering once it gets there.. I fell asleep with my 1911 in my hand one time & woke up with a rusted hand imprint
The mainspring housing is plastic. No risk of rust there.
Nice and to the point! Im digging mine so far.. was looking for another full size 1911 but found a killer deal on a stainless UC2 that I couldn’t pass up.. 750 with crimson trace grips, tritiums and a leather galco iwb holster. Yes used but still in fantastic condition, just some light holster wear on the rear sight. Figured if i hated it, it would be an easy sell but i think ill be hanging onto it for a while. I agree on the size. Small enough to carry but big enough to not really feel like a “carry gun”
Woogie?
SiliconDrifter was seriously thinking the same exact thing
LOL! Stealing shoes again?
Lol!!!
Great review! Hey, is there any difference between the Ultra carry and Pro Carry II?
+silenthillvictim Size I believe. Thanks for watching!
silenthillvictim the Ultra is a 3 inch barrel the Pro is 4 inch barrel.
Just a suggestion. Use Wilson mags. I use mine for a paper weight now. I prefer to carry a sidearm that goes bang when I pull the trigger. Do your research before you purchase this model. Your carry sidearm is not a piece of cool bling. Please consider this. Stay safe, stay alert. Cheers.
Thomas Walsh why is that mine works flawlessly
Painted the front sight with glow in the dark orange paint. Flawless performance and super accurate! Exceeded my expectations!
It literally says in the manual that this gun requires a break in to function reliably
Thomas Walsh my ultra has been perfect for over 1000 rds. Sounds like u dont really have one, or u really abuse the one u have. Js
What model S&W Revolver in the background ? Beautiful gun.
Looks like a model 64
Go reds!
Go Redlegs!
I shot my pistal about 200 rounds, after a year it started to jam, I called the company they wanted 60$ to send it in lots of hassle, they knew they had a problem, still wanted money, took it to a gunsmith he had to work it over to shoot, it's not the Kimber of the past. There are better guns for The money
This was not in fact 180 seconds
LOL this is NOT a gun review. This is an advertisement. How much is Kimber paying you?
Because ALL the reviews that actualy shoot the gun ALL have the gun jam periodically. Probably why you didn't shoot it.
I was going to buy one. I wanted to like this gun so bad. Luckily I watched several REAL reviews of them shooting the gun. I'll never buy a kimber after seeing them. I'll be getting a Springfield Armory Ronin instead.
Go reds
😍😍😍😍😍
