I had been planning on buying a new gun for a while now, but I have always wanted a Kimber. Well I finally did it today. Went out and got a new Kimber Ultra Carry II.

Very Sweet Pistol!

 

I have a Kimber Custom II. Mine is 5 years old and has around 15k rounds thru it. Have never once had a problem. My finish is starting to get a little wear, so I am thinking about sending it back to Kimber and getting it re-finished.

 

By far, the best shooting 1911 based hand gun I have ever owned. :uhoh:

Very nice.

 

Kimber recommends 500 rounds through it to break everything in. HAPPY SHOOTING!

Pretty sweet! I love my 1911, but it's a bitch to carry. I'm seriously looking at a Para Carry.

Yeah but doesn't it feel good to be in a place that recognizes the right to carry?

 

Lookout thugs... WE SHOOT BACK!

 

If you ain't carryin' you ain't a Texan!

Hopefully I will get some of the break in done this weekend. I have to go back to the gun shop though, the brilliant guy that sold it to me gave me a box of .45 GAP and a box of .45 Long Colt :uhoh:

 

It is surprisingly small for a 1911. I will have to take a comparison pic tomorrow with my dad's 1911. But this new one cant compare to his since it is a REAL 1911...

I hate you all....

 

We cant "legally" have one here in BC (or the rest of Canada for that matter I believe)...It has to be locked up at a range or some BS like that.

 

Only long guns are to be kept at home...and even than you have to have a position license.

 

 

Tid bit of Canadian government brilliance.

 

The gun control program has cost to date, approx 2Billion dollars, revenue from persons registering firearms is approx 100 million....

 

It was estimated, 119 Mill, with only about 2 million cost to tax payers in the beginning, 1995, but now, 5 years over due, there are still about 1/3 of the public that refuse to register their guns and just the operating cost each year for the program is in the area of 75million.

 

Brilliant plan...register your guns, it will help stop crime....because IF, I wanted to kill someone with a gun I would give a rats ass if it was registered or not.

It's ok the government knows better than you! They know how you should live your life and they will protect you from all the bad people and yourself! An armed population has a government that fears and works FOR their citizens. The US is already on it's way down that path as well...

I want a 50 cal. Desert Eagle..If some thug is shooting at me, I want to be able to take cover, turn off the safe, lean out and blow his arm off. Hey, he probably won't be shooting anymore.

Do you have a concealed carry permit? If not, I highly recommend getting one and taking advantage of it.

While you are at it, join the NRA and protect you right to carry.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
