Wow, just saying "Kimber Super Carry Ultra +" was tough. Sounds like the name of a cartoon Super Hero.

Does anyone have one? I am getting the itch for a new gun and saw this one in a gun magazine. It looked good and received grand reviews. It is just the size I want and is nice looking. The person writing the review raved about it but is also on the payroll of a magazine in which Kimber spends hundreds of thousands of dollars advertising. I'm looking for opinions from people not on that payroll.

I have heard all good about Kimber's quality. The only thing bad I have heard is that they have very poor Customer Service after the sale. Anything else I should know before deciding to buy one or not to buy one?

No I do not have one but am fond of the HD version myself.

I have the super carry pro. All I can say is that the gun is great,just throw away the mags that come with the gun and get Chip McMacormics.I have six Kimbers,I can put any of them in A holster and feel perfectly comfortable. I also have A great gunsmith that fine tunes my guns,I would never send A gun back to the factory for somthing that I can talk to my gunsmith about.

I have been carrying an Ultra CDP II for several years. Added Crimson Trace sights, and a couple other minor mods, and it eats whatever I feed it, and holds 2" patterns at 25+ yards all day long (better if I don't drink a Monster drink on the way out!).

I have a Kimber Ultra Elite that I have carried for nearly Ten years now with nary a hitch. Never had any dealings with Customer Service since I've never had a lick of trouble. When it was brand new the mags were a little rough so I took them apart and ran them in my vibratory case cleaner for 24 hours and that polished them to a fine satin sheen. Since then I've probably fired over 20,000 rounds without even one jam. I used to be a diehard Colt fan and at one time I had 13 Colts in 45 acp, 10 mm and 40S&W and they were all stainless Gold Cups. I had to do a lot of work on them to make them reliable so when Kimber started making 1911 clones I jumped on them with both feet and never looked back.
