OK

I have been bemoaning the new 1911's and have been taken to task by the gang here.

I have a compact Kimber on the way. I will test it as follows:

1 I have 3000 rounds of assorted factory amm to run through the gun. Key word here being factory. Mostly 230g hardball,some 185 to 230 jhp's.

I have ordered 2 Wilson 7 round mags and 4 metalform 7 round mags to use for this test.

The test will consist of drawing the Kimber from a Milt Sparks Summer Special and from a Kramer belt scabbord.

The time frame will be on the weekend of the 1st of April.

I will document the results in regard to reliability and accuracy. I think we all know that this size gun is concealable.

It will be fun,and I hope beneficial---if any one is in the Texas hill country or close by,please come help!

Thanks!
 
Cool, running 3,000 rounds through a quality firearm sounds like a blast. Let us know how it works out and I hope you enjoy your new pistol.

Don't forget to follow the break-in procedures for the Wilson's mags. I had a bit of difficulty with a couple of the 8 rounders that has has been cured after use.

Can't wait to hear the results of your tests.

JJCII---thtas why I went with the 7 round mags. The old timers I learned pistol shooting from said to always use the 7 round mags as the springs were stronger,aiding to reliability.

I'll ley you guys know what happened!

Did you get to test your Kimber? How did it go?
