Kimber 1911

Accu rails work great and extend the life of your Aluminum framed 1911's. Even Steel ones need them after shotting IPSC matches for years.

I wish there was a way to make disasembling a kimber simpler. At least with mine its a little awkward, compared to my buddies colt. He beats me in the upside down, blindfolded, Major Pain firearm cleaning test every time.

Thanks for the reply's, but after some more looking around went with a Sig Carry Scorpion.

  Nice choice!! Welcome to the scorpion madness  The kimber is about $300-$500 more and does not shoot 300-500 better than the Sig Scorpion!

my kimber is really simple to take apart.  kimber super custom carry

Do you need a tool? Mine needs a small tool, unless theres a trick I don't know about

mine came with a tool, but i never use it.  mine takes apart just like the custom classics.  just gotta watch out for that spring flying out at ya.

[Austrian Hunter]

I learned the hard way, these are just super tied pistols and if not all aliened correctly they can give you fits putting them back together or taking them apart. 

[Austrian Hunter]

Yea, not a kimber! But he did say he went with a scorpion

Is it a full size or a compact?

Are you using a paperclip when you strip it?

Its a compact.

[sirmissalot]

His is a fullsize yes. His is sweet though, you just push down on the little plunger deal and rotate the barrel bushing or whatever.

Mine you have to use a paperclip or the tool they sent with the gun, slide the action back, insert, release and its easy from there. Like I said, hard to do upside down blind folded, major pain style.

I don't have the paper clip thing,  its just push the plunger down and rotate the barrell bushing.

[300rum]

That's the difference.  He has a bushing barrel and you have a bull barrel.  Like comparing apples to oranges.
