I have a Pro Elite that I installed the Burlwood Crimson Trace grips, it is a stunning gun as far as looks go and shoots even better. Mine has night sights but i have a friend that has TFO on his Kimber as well as CT. I will probably put TFOs on mine as the night sights are beginning to dim.

Great gun. May need to go to gunsprings.com They make a HD spring for the Kimber Pro models that'll last longer.

I have the exact Kimber, I ordered extra stainless steel mags from Kimber when I ordered mine. Smooth action, fairly easy to CC and the accuracy is EXCEPTIONAL. Read the manual on disassembly, DO NOT DEPRESS THE GRIP SAFETY when taking apart. Damage is not covered under warranty. Enjoy.

I have a Kimber Ultra Carry II. Very nice weapon. Your price is right on. Jump on it before it goes. I had to wait 4 months before mine came in to the shop. Make sure you break in with FMJ 230 such as the Federal Eagle. Have fun my Fellow American.

Good choice! I have both the Tactical Pro II and Tactical Cuatom II and they have to be modified by a Smith due to the Ambi safety.

Yes the 1 9 1 1 disease sigh ....

All my other handguns are just ... bleh ... they sit there on the bench at the range and cry oily tears while they watch me make love to my 4" Kimber slingling slugs of love down her barrel at willing steel targets.

I am hoping that my AR will take my mind off my little precious 45 and focus on it instead for a while but I dont think so. I was playing around with the AR (UNLOADED) drilling around in my house CQB geek style and then I got bored and just sat there and started looking at my 1911 again sitting on my desk....

I almost cried when I had to secure her in the safe for the night until I can don her tomorrow. AR just hangs on hook behind my headboard now so the 11 just goes to bed at night now... so sad to put her away at night ... so sad.

It is kind of sad to put the guns in the bedside safe for the night isn't it?

I have the Pro CDP II

It's the most accurate gun I own.

I don't carry it every day because that's a lot of gun for me.

This is a good price.

Local Gander Mountain here in Woodbury wants $1199 for the Ultra Carry w/ Crimson Trace and $1225 for the Pro Carry w/ Crimson Trace.

You have my vote, I also second on getting the Kimber Kimpro Tac-Mags

Does this sound about right?Yes
Does anyone know if the laser sights are interchangable with standard 1911 grips on this gun? they are
Also are standard .45 mags interchangeable? yes

If yo haven't already take a look at the Kimber site below
Kimber America Store > 1911 pistol parts & accessories

They revamped their website and accessories.

I purchased mine from Gander Mountain and no regrets.
Take a look at my pictures from an older thread.

Let us know what you decide.
