I'm hearing some horror stories about the less than full-size series II Kimbers (See all the 1911 forums and I'm sure you'll find at least a dozen threads). I just asked the place, that I have in on lay-away with, what their return policy was and they said I had 30 days for function. So I'll probably try that to see what the true story is. I hope I don't need to use that because I really like the look and feel of the gun.

I know you have to take a lot of net stuff with a grain of salt, but their were a lot of people with the exact same stories.

Ditto on Kimber. My Ultra Carry CDPII has never failed. Also have a Springfield 1911-A1 and a Colt 1991-A1 Series 80. They also function flawlessly. Springfield has an EMP which is a carbon copy of the Kimber Ultra Carry I think it's about $150 cheaper than the Kimber.

Like the EMP, but its only in 9mm at the moment. And they just happened to have a used Ultra CDP II and also a used Ultra Raptor. I like the melted slide better.

edit: The CDP II that I'm looking at is actually a CDP (1st evolution) so my worries about the reliability and problems are a little less now. It was manufactured 7/2000.
