KIMBER ULTRA CDP II .45 ACP 1911...A GREAT 3" CARRY OPTION

[@AVSSharky]

Love this gun! I hit every thing in the 10 ring. Its my every day carry gun. Alien holsters are the perfect fit for the side arm. 7+1 always cocked safety on. Everyone who shoots mine wants to buy it. The kick really isn’t that bad for a 3”. 👍👍

[@alexgyorko6464]

I have two of these and love them. They are both reliable and accurate. I have 9 Kimbers and certainly wouldn’t have accumulated 9 if they weren’t great pistols.

[@anthonylabranche3210]

What is good ammo jhp to carry?

[@thomaseynon6205]

Federal HST 230gr provides great expansion out of these little handguns, and have been extremely reliable through my CDP.

[@gunner9035]

Any failures so far ?

[@alexgyorko6464]

Only time I really have problems is when I ride the slide and that happens with other manufacturers too.

[@MarkSmith-vx5yy]

Love the way you go over everything about the pistols. If i buy a gun you have covered i feel like I already know what im getting. You seem to be a straight cake gun tuber w no unneeded icing... I love that.

[@bondalero0074]

I had one of these and the Kimber Stainless ll; I sold both buying my my Kimber Pro Raptor ll in 45acp. It’s beauty and reliability, fit & finish,serrations on grips/slide, night sights, & it’s dragon scale grips was it’s selling point for me. This 1911 fits in my hands like it was made for me. I use Wilson Combat 47D mags with “NO” reliability issues after break in! Kimber is also still made in America all were features I was looking for with my $2k cap!#1911❤#Kimber🇺🇸#45acp#ProRaptorll

[@alexgyorko6464]

I have 3 Raptors. Great pistol

[@wheelierider455]

The Sig P365 is a superior EDC in comparison with round count and reliability. My lady bought an ultra 2 and it's been nothing but problems. As for a fun range day gun with loads of character I do like kimber. Would never trust my life with one. And your right with the beaver tail snagging your side. I just picked up a 2001 Pro Carry Series 1, as I heard the Kimber 1911's were alot better quality. So I'm stoked about that, especially for $450

[@wc587]

I am not a 1911 fan for several reasons. I think cocked and locked is inherently unsafe but a Safe Fire System is available and makes the gun safer and faster. No racking the slide, no easing the hammer down on a live rd. With an SFS system you can carry a rd in the chamber and the hammer down. When you push the thumb safety the gun cocks itself and is ready to fire. I am considering a Kimber .45 with a more or less full grip and 3" barrel with the addition of a BH Spring Solutions SFS kit. I put one on my Springfield SA 35 hi power and it is fantastic. The gun is safer yet immediately ready when the safety is switched off.

[@truthseeking3818]

I have an Ultra Carry II in all stainless, first thing I did was drop an anodized aluminum main spring housing with the chain-link cut from Ed Brown. It is absolutely flawless, as well as beautiful. Everytime I’m at the range I got other 1911 guys begging me to trade them a magazine full of shots out of their rig, so they can test mine. Not going to lie, I always seem to prefer my gun! She is just an absolute tac driver.

[@kylewood8327]

They’re not for everybody but everybody should own one!

[@richardritter3092]

I've owned this weapon for going on 10 yrs ... people complain about accuracy .. I'd say to them practice more often ..... ive run 8,000 rds thru mine ... I'm 66 yrs old and can hit paper plates at 50 ft without hardly trying .. I can hit a coffee cup at 25 easily.... good enuf for me ...... carry every day all day

[@RickyJr46]

I saw one at the shop, it's very classy and feels great in the hand.

[@sparkplug0000]

My Kimber CDP II is an Ultra+ (note the PLUS), meaning it’s this same gun, including the 3 inch barrel, but with a full size 1911 grip. Apparently this is somewhat rare judging from the scarcity of videos on it. The extra grip length will admittedly print more if worn in certain ways, but I find the controllability is greater since all fingers have a home with room to spare. The Kimber website now lists a Pro CDP with this full grip but it has a 4 inch barrel, and my 3 inch Ultra+ is no longer listed.

[@anthonylabranche3210]

What type of ammo you carry

[@tomgiorgini9154]

they haven't made the ultra plus for years that was a great design kimber has a lot of features for the money the cdp is a great gun they dropped the ll designation. this is a prior to 2017 gun

[@josephhaack5711]

If the beaver tail dogs into you when carrying, you might need a diet! Lol

[@BearPapa49]

I like it a lot any issues with jams ? And I was told it needs a very good break in period. I like the grip on it . May just make the purchase.

[@RandyWittmann]

Great video! Love your channel. Looking to get a 1911. Narowed it down to Springfield or Kimber. Any thoughts?

[@neighborhoodlegal9929]

availability of the right variant you like will probably be the reason one over the other. Can't go wrong either way.

[@2trill210]

check out Rock Island Armory 3.10 bbr or Para Ordnance Warthog. Both are compact double stacked 45acp 1911s

[@BitcoinNewsTodayLive]

I love my Para Carry 6 LDA in in Stainless.

[@aponoypi]

love mine its all black. changed to hogue grips and wilson combat parts/magazine

[@mytwogoodhands2799]

CDP and Officer model use the same frame? can you switch back and forth between 3" and 4" barrel and slide?

[@pilotmiami1]

Bravo.thenks. go Ahead.

[@leeadams5941]

Carried that pistol for many years, never dissatisfied with its performance..when hunting carry the Springfield 6 inch and shoot the .450. Changed out the grips, which are beautiful with pachmyre type of grips for comfort and control. Consider carrying crossdraw for ease of deploying in your auto. Have to disagree with you on having the motor skills to cock your weapon on deployment...I learned that skill with single-action Colts and just brought it forward in all revolvers and some autos. But the 1911 should be carried cocked and locked that's what it was designed for.

[@javiervazquez2896]

Great.! Sold...thank you. Great video.

[@indymac7]

Don't ferget if'n ya have a problem in the field and need to strip it...Don't fergets a paperclip. Ya gots to have it in yer pocket. My CDP musta been an ancient one as it just field stripped just like my Colt Gov. but it sho nuff shot akret when shootin. Even if'n it was an old style take down I was use to in de military way way back, durin' da Vietnam fighting I did then. But knowin' me I'd forget the paperclip an hope nuttin happens. (Sry, just felt a lil goofy today) 🤣

[@gungadingo]

Goofy or just plain stupid?

[@paststeve1]

Well done video! I would like to have seen some "B Roll" footage of you firing the pistol at the range.

[@TheConcealedCarryChannel]

Thank you. I have considered adding the range footage to my videos. I had originally decided that people watching me shoot might not be that helpful, nothing like having an instructor with you.

[@3kkousedflash246]

Just put an ultra carry 2 on layaway from a pawn any suggestions to really run through once obtained ?

[@mattithyahuwyisrael4077]

Clean it before you shoot it and just know it has a breakthrough period. I'm in the process of breaking mine in now. Kimber has excellent customer service. Consider better magazine, I'm having some failure to feed issues but all in all I love my raptor custom!

[@carolinestewart8915]

How do you like it now?

[@ctclimberguy34]

Got mine 20 yrs ago & it still runs great.& still looks perfect. I did change out the main recoil spring about 4yrs ago.

[@mikelangelo2020]

If I didn't just buy a Beretta clone, I'd definitely would be picking up a 1911/2011.

[@jdwafer]

Can you compare this gun to a Rock Island BBR 310

[@wardroland270]

Thanks TCCC. Great job. Good info. God bless. LETS GO BRANDON

[@Danny19551]

I just bought a used one just like this online got it I haven’t fired it yet check with Kimber and it was made in 2001 don’t know how many rounds I’ve been through it it looks in really good shape is there anything that I should have done to this or just wait and see

[@joep6727]

Put two boxes through it, no problems? Carry away. An issue? Gunsmith for a tune up. But my bet is that that doesn't happen. These things are built to perform and last, quality is number one at Kimber.

[@Alutacon]

Great vid but I'll disagree on one point you made. I carry this firearm and there's no reason not to carry it cocked with the manual safety off. Its the same as carrying a gun that has no manual safety. That's what the grip safety is for. Thanks for the vid.

[@ctclimberguy34]

Most of those do have a safety blade on the trigger... So it's not exactly the same

[@Alutacon]

@@ctclimberguy34 Interesting, I've never seen one with a trigger safety.

[@jackmarks2176]

Those plastic guns don't have a 2.5 to 4 lbs. trigger pull. As you draw a 1911 your thumb just falls right on top of the safety.

[@erivanpereira2980]

Nossa amigo que pistola linda a kirmber tá de parabéns

[@johnross5909]

Got one for my youngest son he is tall and skinny, my oldest son carries full size 1911 no problem. Although he put a Ruger vaquero.44 mag on his CCW and loves carrying it says more comfortable than 1911.

[@codycornell5036]

He carries a single action revolver???

[@joep6727]

If you are serious about self/family protection and being a force multiplier then this Kimber Ultra is a NO BRAINER, Pay the price, train all the time, buy more ammo, get a good holster, carry ALL the TIME. Don't moan and groan. If your gonna do something by all means do it right. You will not find a better firearm, if 8 rounds is not enough keep training. The ONLY time I switch to a polymer 9mm is when the Kimber is just too much to conceal, and that is not very often.

[@kwamanepowers1046]

I have the 5 inch and 3 inch.. looking for the 4 inch ll tone

[@anthonylabranche3210]

What is good ammo for the compact 1911? Jhp

[@jllopez787]

just purchased mine what magazine are you using.

[@ctclimberguy34]

A kimber

[@imdonenomas1129]

Wilson Combat mags works best for kimbers

[@alexgyorko6464]

I’ve tried every brand magazine in my Kimbers and the Kimpro mags work as well as any including Wilson Combat. The plain black Kimber mags that come with some Kimbers aren’t great but the Kimpro are great. I think they are the same mag sold as Ed brown. I don’t know for sure but I have both and they look identical.

[@TheRios7018]

Nice grips

[@CrazyPetez]

Carrying a 1911 Condition 1, Cocked & Locked, without some kind of cover over the manual safety is extremely dangerous. Ya need a holster that covers the manual safety, especially is it’s an ambidextrous model. Just my opinion.

[@suleymana5853]

Anyone have any good suggestions for a kydex IWB holster for this gun?

[@conniephillips3786]

Alright alright alright alright alright

[@josephsacher1048]

Add slim grips to significantly reduce the size of the grip on concealment (assuming good fit for your hands).

[@videogazer801]

That’s not a available option, so you’re stuck with how it comes
