kimber

I took two 10mm handguns, a Kimber Camp Guard and a S&W M&P10mm, and seven different 10mm factory loads to the range today and compared them on a chronograph. The Blazer actually did better than I expected. The Sig V-crown 180 grain and the Underwood loads did well too.

Hello everyone. I come in peace. I am debating the purchase of a Kimber Micro 9, but after reading all the reliability issues, I am going back and forth in my decision making. I've read countless reports of different types of failures and multiple trips to Kimber for servicing. I don't really...

Hey folks, So a few years ago I pretty much finished up my collection of guns that have a legitimate purpose (or, let's be honest... that I can come up a legitimate excuse for). I'm not shopping for my first gun purchased 100% because it will bring me happiness. So I'm looking at 1911's...

The title is clear enough I think ... one rifle to rule them all. Rifle season is almost here in MT. Last year I shot three big critters and one smaller one using a Tikka T3 TAC chambered in .300 Win Mag (Federal Trophy Copper 180gr) with no runners but more bloodshot meat than I'd like, so...

This was a new one to me. I was at a range today and saw a Kimber Rapide do the strangest missfeed I had ever heard of, much less actually seen. This is an almost new pistol with less than 100 rounds through it. Firing Handloaded, 230gr FMJ, new brass, can't remember the powder charge, but is...

I just purchased my first 1911, a used Kimber Custom LW. I have a few questions, that may be old info to some, or my gun may have a problem. The first is that the gun was pretty consistently hitting high, about 6-7 inches at 25 yard. The sight picture is weird. The red dot in the front sight is...

Why do so many treat the design and manufacture of double-action revos as if they're akin to designing and building space satellites or high tech automobiles? If you really consider a DA revo from a machine design/product engineering standpoint, they're not that big of a deal. Particularly...

In June of 2016 I converted my 8400 WSM chambered in 300 WSM to .308 Win. In February of 2018 I started a thread about converting it to 6.5 PRC. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/another-kimber-montana-8400-wsm-conversion-this-time-to-6-5-prc.832942/#post-10840608 The short...

Are kimber actions any good? Is there possibilities of putting different stocks on kimbers? I've read something about the action or stock not being able to handle a heavy barrel well. Looking for insight

So as the subject says, my father unfortunately passed away recently, and he was a long time gun enthusiast. As per his wish, he wanted me to inherit his guns. Problem is, I've only gone to the range twice, and don't know anything really about guns, nor do I have a wild interest in owning many...

@<*(((>< started a thread in December of last year about his Winchester Model 70 Proof build. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/mountain-rifle-win-m70-280ai-proof-research.859865/ I've done something similar with a Kimber 84M and picked up the barreled action from Proof yesterday...

Is anyone aware of any options for mounting a reflex/red-dot sight on a Kimber Micro 9 that doesn't require milling the slide? I'm aware there are options for some pistols that allow you to push out your rear iron sight and replace it with a mount for a reflex. I've done a few searches and have...

Hi all, I love to have brands that work and stick to them ... that’s been an American romanticism for quite a while. We love names we can use for years that continue to work, and work well. With regards to handguns, up until recently I’ve had all Glocks and SS S&W revolvers and semis aside...

I have seen many recent posts from folks wanting recommendations for .308, .270, 30-06, 6.5C and all of the responses are similar: Ruger, Tikka, Bergara, Winchester and occasionally Browning. I have been lusting after a lightweight Kimber for years but have never pulled the trigger (sic). Why...

I just bought the Kimber Ultra Carry II. I fired some reloads and cheap Tula through it. I reload almost all my ammo and the Tula was $7.00 a box so I got some. Anyway I have not fired anything else through it but for the times I fired about 10 Tula and 5 reloads I had failures to go into...

Hello all, I occasionally see informal matches set up that are rimfire only, but more like a PRS style match. Locally, a few clubs have started discussion on similar type matches and it seems like this rifle would be perfect for a match where the shooter will transition from prone to standing...

Does anyone know if the Kimber rimfire target conversion kit for the 1911 will fit any 1911 platform, particularly the Rock Island Armory? I have a brand new kit that I dug up out of the safe, never even used it and sold my Kimber, but I do have a RiA 1911 in 38 super so I was wondering if I...

I bought my girlfriend a Kimber 84M Montana in .308 Win earlier in the year for her to use for deer and elk up here in Montana and last week I started load development for it. The general rifle season opens tomorrow so I think I have a great load worked up just in time. It didn't take long or...

My Eclipse Custom II has some corrosion on the barrel. This came from storage in a high humidity environment that I did not adequately prepare for. Now I want to see if I can clean it up. Related, I'm looking into adding a mag well, extended slide release, and compensator. The comp means...

Help me choose a new 380 I am looking for a new carry 380. Which would you choose and why? Sig p238 Colt Mustang Kimber Micro Thanks for your thoughts.
