Good idea! Maybe they’ll be worth enough to take another old man with her!😂

She'll have a soft spot in her heart for Kimber's then!

...welcome to the forum from north Alabama just shy of the Tennessee line...
...there might be a few Ultra CDP II owners here 'bouts:

...this one has a new recoil spring and sights on her... ...be headed to the range in a bit....

Here's my Compact CDP. I'll be taking her to the range tomorrow. Can't wait

 

[dgf46]

My favorite upgrade on the CDPs over a standard Ultra Carry, is the front strap and under trigger checkering. It makes a world of difference in securing the pistol, for me.

Howdy all. Old gun guy here, but first Kimber. I just scored a clean, used Ultra CDP II with a lot of extras. I love 1911s. I'd been searching for a really light, compact 1911 for carry duty. I could never daily carry my full sized 1911. I have a Browning 1911-380 Medallion Pro that's stunningly beautiful, but I was really looking for a little more firepower than the 380 provides. I shopped hard, but somehow just kept finding myself back at the Kimber Ultra lineup. It just ticked all the right boxes for me. I haven't gotten to take it shooting yet, but I don't expect to be disappointed. I also expect I'll make a few mods to it. My gunsmithing skills are pretty good. Mine is a 9mm model. Anyway, I'm sure this forum will prove to be a valuable knowledge base when I start tinkering with my new acquisition.

If I could get a slide from a CSE, I'd swap it in a heartbeat.

That was a big reason I picked the CDP. Ultra was too smooth and Raptor was too coarse. I loved the fine checkering on the front strap. I do wish it had the speed bump on the beavertail. I could probably retrofit one.

Kimber makes a drop in tactical grip safety

No shit? Can you point me in the right direction?

[Chuck43]

Tactical Grip Safety available at the Kimber shop.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Thanks for that. I'm hoping to take it shooting tomorrow and I'll see if it needs it. Extended slide release might be higher on my list, but we'll see. Thanks again.

Kimber 1911 Tactical Bumped Grip Safety Black 1100634A on EBay $44.23 shipped from an authorized Kimber dealer

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Picked it up this morning from the FFL. It came with a ton of extras. I got six mags total, three sets of grips, an extra recoil spring assembly of unknown condition or origin, original case and manual. Gonna go shoot it here in a bit.

Hard to believe those extra-long, genuine Kimber mags are NOT +1. The one with fewer viewing holes will take one more if you push hard, but that seems like begging for a malfunction. It makes a poor pinkie-rest, so what's the point? Anyway, gonna take it to the range after I split a little firewood. Supposed to get below zero here Friday. 🙄 I'll report after trying it out.

Congrats! Pretty sure thats going to be a factory Kimber recoil spring assembly, looks new but? Never understood adding a magwell to an Ultra but you may like it. Enjoy!

Lol. You mean buy a small gun and intentionally make it bigger? 🙄

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Quick question. Getting ready to head to the range and figured I'd better take it down and do a quick inspection. Who knows when it was last oiled. Pretty clean inside. The spare recoil assembly looks unused with no wear marks. But I notice the one installed has a yellow paint mark at the end of the spring, the spare does not. Anybody know if maybe one of those is factory and the other an aftermarket?
TIA,

D Dave
