The wife got me a great birthday gift. (Gun)

[Sonic03inSC]

My wife really surprised me this year with a Kimber CDP II. I had no clue she was getting it for me, all I asked for was a pair of shoe's. So we finish diner and she hands me a gift that I can tell is a pair of shoe's so I open it up and sitting there in all it's beauty is a Kimber Ultra CDP II. I have a great Wife!

Nice! I have a kimber ultra raptor........it has started a bad bad desire to own every 1911 I can get my hands on!

 

[Sonic03inSC]

Thanks
It shoots really nice for a 45. She got it for a few hundred less.

I have the same model and I love it. I went from 5" 1911 (Springfield Operator) to this one and it has a slight bit more recoil if you A/B'd them back to back, but you get used to it quite easily. My only suggestion is to get some nice magazines. The factory ones have those little sharp edges on the bottom that dig into your hand. Wilson Combat makes some that are just for these Kimbers that work flawlessly. I believe it's the 47,OX:

Magazines for Officers Model / Compacts
