    Joined Kimber Mimber

    Bought a Kimber Pro Carry 2 with night sights. Upgraded with the following:
    - Cylinder and Slide sear spring
    - VZ Carbon Fiber Grips
    - Wilson Combat magazines
    - Wilson Combat Recoil Assembly
    - Wilson Combat Bulletproof Extractor ( tension set at 28 oz )

    Trigger pull was measured at 3 pounds! Can't wait to shoot it.

    Looks nice. And if your MSH is plastic you should drop in an Ed Brown 25LPI. Working on making that mod to my CDP Pro now, some fitting required...

            The stock MSH are actually pretty durable, my CDP is 12 years old and has many thousands of rounds fired its still good to go. If it was a full size all steel gun I'd change it, but because its a carry gun, alloy and works great I'm keeping it.
            I did replace the Kimber steel MSH in my Desert Warrior with the EB chainlink MSH and magwell, great look fit and function. So I do have an extra all steel Kimber MSH if needed.
            Im a warmonger baby, I got blood in my eyes and I'm looking at you.

              Glad to see another Kimber owner. I love mine though it's only a Custom II. It does have a striking resemblance to mine minus the front serations on mine LOL. Mine is bone stock except for the grips. She's run IDPA for almost 2 years now and is my Concealed Carry Weapon. Probably about time for some new springs but haven't had any issues yet. She's had probably 3k rounds thru her.

                Kinda getting used to the schwartz safety. Making sure I am not engaging the grip safety when re assembling the slide. I also checked for recoil stacking, and it is lined up with or without the spring.

                  Sweet 1911! Your set up is similar to my Kimber TLE.

                  I also recently installed a Cylinder & Slide light sear spring. Feels fantastic! I safely/carefully did a hand-polish trigger job. Made the trigger action/break a tad more refine/crisp. I also ordered a 10-8 Flat Trigger a few days ago, should be a fun project!
