Nice video. As soon as my MN paperwork comes through I'm picking up mine. I have money down and the gun is on hold for me. I saw that a average price for these guns is about $1285 and thats what I offered my ffl guy and he took it. Right now I'm patiently waiting. Have fun shooting. I don't think these guns are considered to be 2011 but more of a 1911 hybrid
Yeah my state is pretty much full retail but the pistol is so nice I didn’t care lol. Yeah it’s a double stack 1911 so I think that’s what makes it a 2011 style but I could be wrong. Thanks for stopping by the channel!
I just put couple hundred rounds thru mine and wow what a great accurate easy shooting weapon! Ive had two 45 cal kimber 1911s in the past and this is even better. Ill put a red dot on it. What a great conceal carry gun. And the 18 round magazines coming soon. I paid $1369 minus 5% for being a veteran at cabelas.
Well, just watched this video for the first time with 2, of my friends & they were very impressed over the firearm. It’s a sexy looking weapon & you covered every aspect of this firearm. Enjoyed this presentation & I’m looking forward to your next toy. Lol😅
Nice pistol, it doesn't bother me at all not having a rail , the barrel is really nicely done also. I would like to shoot it next to my Wilson EDC X9 for comparison and now we are coming of age that we don't have to spend four grand to get a good smooth run. My Wilson is however a really nice pistol and Staccato being butter smooth as well , but i can honestly say that this Kimber will get even better with time as most pistols will improve somewhat but im also very appreciative to good ergonomics and definitely is important to how much one comes to enjoying a fine companion. Great review here and much appreciated 👍
I agree and now that I have north of 500 the slide feels much smoother so only expect it to run better and better. Would have liked to seen the front sight fiber and tritium at this price point.
Just getting into 1911’s. Started with a Springfield Garrison 9mm and love it, so accurate and fun to shoot; better than any striker fired gun I’ve tried. Looking for a 1911 for carry as the 5 inch barrel and weight of the Garrison is a little much. Rented a Kimber Ultra Carry II and loved it. Wasn’t a fan of the Micro 9. I want to try this KDS9C just worried it might be too large for carry, wondering if you’ve carried it yet and your thoughts? Concealed carry is only way I’d go. I’m going to rent this KDS9C, but I’m also considering the Ultra Carry II and SA EMP (not available for rent tho) We can have the 15 round magazine but I’d imagine the KDS9C is going to be thicker than the single stack 1911s; also how do you feel about the KDS lacking the grip safety? Thanks and great review!
First off thank you for the questions. I’ve been carrying the kds9c for just over a week and the first holster I had was a OWB and it Carrie’s fine but stuck out to much. Then I got the IWB holster and I love it now. It’s as big as a Glock 19 so not too big for carry even though I prefer the micro 9 size. My carry all summer is the sig p938 which is the same as kimber micro 9 so coming from that size it was a small adjustment for carry but again right holster and it’s fine. The grip safety being absent don’t bother me because that thumb safety and you trigger finger are the safest thing your going to get it’s all training. Hope this helps you with your choice as I don’t think you will regret it.
@@yankeecowboy yea and with open carry ban taking effect we have to be carry conscience now too. The weight has been the reason I'm still looking at it
I'M FROM PRITKZERVILL and HOPEFULLY the BAN GETS OVERTURNED this Month may 2024 then I'm buying $2500 worth of gun stuff that got BANNED by JELLY Beans
Another CT resident. You'll have to let me know how this holds up to the warmer months. I don't find the grip texture to be impressive at all, and I am not sure why they didn't add more. If VZ or Lok would come out with grips, I would be a bit more compelled to give this gun a look.
I had a few Kimbers before the boating accident and I like(d) them but why can't we have tritium sights included for a $1,500 msrp? BTW left CT 17 years ago for a less communist state, some adjustments but no regrets.
I envy you for leaving this state. Yeah i had a few in the past myself and had some issues but this one is been proven great so far, I’m about 500 rounds in without a malfunction.
She’s a dream but to be honest I like the black myself and I’m thinking I should have but then again the stainless is classy like you said. Can’t go wrong with either
@@yankeecowboy I just remember as I got older and more firearm proficient being so disappointed watching Mel Gibson blink with every single shot in Lethal Weapon!
Got mine took to range and after 75 perfect rounds It started failing to go into battery with a new mag. Tried different types of ammo and same problem...any thoughts on what would cause this? Very disappointed with a gun at this price point. FYI I have been shooting for 40 years and I wasn't light racking or anything like that. This is my first 1911 besides a classic colt my Dad used in Korean Confluct. Any advice YankeeCowboy?
Yes I always start with the magazine first,99% of the time is mag related start there next would be guide rod spring and make sure it’s lube well. I took mine dirty and unlubricated no issues. If you try these things and no luck just contact kimber they will make it right but I totally get what your saying. Also before you can try another magazine try loading less rounds in mag and see. That should also tell you if it’s the magazine. Please let me know how you make out
I’ve got 250 rounds through mine with no issues. I really like and recommend this pistol. My only complaint is I would like a more aggressive front strap and mainspring housing texturizing
Its crazy that it takes Kimber a decade to realize that you can make a double stacked 1911. Then they forgot to to add a rail. Once again, total fail by Kimber

I thought you'd left CT behind in your rear view mirror? Nice gun. Reminds me of a more "affordable" Wilson EDC X9.
It’s definitely a good alternative to the Wilson, some things I like better. No I wish I could leave this state but stuck here for now.
@@yankeecowboy in ct also state sucks ay
When it comes in a 45 or 10 mm then I'll get excited.
Very pretty. I’m so tempted. It’s about time Kimber gives you a nice case & 2 mags. My rapide came in a plastic box with one mag. 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah presentation was actually nice for a change. It’s a sweet pistol if you have the funds I’d say go for it you won’t dislike like it trust me lol
Thanks! I'm going to check one out this afternoon! @@yankeecowboy

Ive struggled with buying this as im from CT as well so we dont really get the double stack benefit. But i think im going to do it anyway.
I totally agree but the weight is what pushed me over the edge
@@yankeecowboy yea and with open carry ban taking effect we have to be carry conscience now too. The weight has been the reason I'm still looking at it
@@jdc12186 carries like a dream, I run both IWB and owb and it’s better inside obviously but both very secure. Prints a little more owb

I’m sure they will come out with a set as this gun gains more hands on it. The railed version just came out too so I think it will happen eventually.
awesome as always yankeecowboy. thank you Sir.
Thank you for watching!
Mine is. 45 1911
Profile reminds me of a SIG 225
Yes but way more comfort

thank for you video i work for kimber
Thank you for watching! And great job on this rendition.
How’s it holding up? About to purchase, just can’t decide between black or stainless. Black looks meaner, stainless looks classier.
She’s a dream but to be honest I like the black myself and I’m thinking I should have but then again the stainless is classy like you said. Can’t go wrong with either
Good video
Nice to see you not blinking!
First shots I’ll blink lol
@@yankeecowboy I just remember as I got older and more firearm proficient being so disappointed watching Mel Gibson blink with every single shot in Lethal Weapon!
@@thedvsmonkey lol I go so much so I’m used to it
Great video but how do you reload steel cases?
You don’t only brass. I buy one box of steel one box of aluminum to make sure it will cycle them.

I'd like a square trigger guard@@alexgyorko6464
Also a place for a light would be nice.
@@jeffkitchens I think they will come out with a revised version with a light rail for sure.
So you bought a double stack but the State limits you to a single stack capacity
Yes against my will I bought it because it’s light and a beautiful piece.
Real 1911s are .45 ACP 😉 , beautiful gun. My double stack 1911 is the RIA BBR in .45. No Jams, hand howitzer!
I prefer.45 myself but this was too sweet to pass up.
I mean of you want to go that far, then technically “real” 1911’s are colt only
@@strongdrew1957 lol, it’s all
Good. Shoot what you wish , 😉
Very sad that in the USA we even have to use the term "free state"
Yes it is 🤦🏻♂️
Its crazy that it takes Kimber a decade to realize that you can make a double stacked 1911. Then they forgot to to add a rail. Once again, total fail by Kimber
I also wished it had a square trigger guard. Next one they will address these issues I think.
@@yankeecowboyI’d like to see it in 10mm too
They made a double stack years ago.
