Just got back from my lgs and finally bought my first 1911. Went with a kimber custom II. I went into the store wanting to buy a rock island but after holding them both I was sold on the kimber. I'm pretty excited!! Can't wait to get it. Any tips for me? I know good mags are one of the first things that's in my list.

Good Choice on the Kimber, you will have a lot of fun. My first 1911 is my Kimber TLE II. 550 Rounds in, no hick-ups, I love it. Currently saving up for my 2nd 1911 soon!
I use the stock kimber mag, and currently/mostly use Chip McCormick power mags 8rds. Works flawlessly at the moment. In the future, I am looking into Wilson Combat and Tripp magazines.
It's 500Rds for break-in, so buy 230gr ammo and enjoy that sweet trigger. Also remember bulk walmart ammo is usually weak target ammo. So don't be surprised if you get a FTF "Failure to feed" with cheap ammo it's bound to happen once in a blue moon.Comment

If for some reason it don't shoot right, then post back here. Mines had a tight extractor and wouldn't got to battery completely. The good folks here helped me figure it out and it turned out I just needed to tune the extractor. Now runs flawlessly.Comment

Those are Strider Gunner grips....I don't believe they make them anymore but I think VZ now makes them under their name. I heard they may not be the same though.Anyone know who makes these grips? In black? I've seen them posted before but I can't seem to find the name!
