New Kimber Double Stack 1911 - KDS9C

[terdog]

The "online" price seems to be in the $1150 range. I cant think of anything that matches that.
If I find one that has tighter fit ... I might just do it.

I already drank the Springfield Prodigy Kool Aid so mom says no more looking for me !

Ya...

I decided to get 1. Bought from SMOKEY MOUNTAIN GUNS & AMMO @ $1259. Free shipping and no tax charged.

Kimber is having a promotion. If bought before the end of November, you get 2 more 15 rnd mags and your choice of 2 different G10 grips ( high grip & higher grip).

Should be here in a day or so.

Stay tuned.

Got her last week.

Man! What a quality piece. Fit/finish is a 97. Just a hint of slide looseness. The features are many, especially for the price. American made and no MIM.
So far, 2 50 rnd sessions, 100 total. I tested with 115 Magtec Steel case, 124 blazer brass and 147 blazer Aluminum case. Had 1 Aluminum fail to go fully into battery, but she was getting dirty .

Already got the promo mags and grips
I dig the red.

I don't know that I have the willpower to only shoot 50 rounds out of a new pistol on it's first range trip. I picked up a couple Berettas last Saturday and ran 550 rounds before I knew it...

I just picked up one myself today! I got the OD green with a threaded barrel. My Wife loves her first edition model KDS9C and so do I but when I saw the new colors with a rail and threads, I knew there'd be another Kimber in the stable! I'm happy I saw this thread since I didn't know about the promotion before. I'm submitted now!

That would be my preference as well. Unfortunately life has other ideas.

Congrats!
Have you shot yours?

I tried stacking a 18 rnd mag onto the promo order... no way Jose.

The other day I noticed that the range bag had some stitching issues. Called Kimber and today I got my warranty replacement bag. Great customer service!

 

[Bill Siegle]

I ran about 100 rounds through it today and love it! It runs great suppressed too. I did adjust the sight a little at home as it was shooting a little left. I had some technical issues with ordering the extra mags and grip panels but that was easy to sort out once I called the customer service number. Looking forward to the green/black grips.

 

[terdog]

Did you go with the std or high grip ?

I did the high grip and am very pleased.

 

[Bill Siegle]

I went high grip too. I like rougher grips on most of my guns Also figured why not? I already have the standard grips, might as well try the others!
