Fantastic Kimber. Quite possibly the best chambering for the 1911. That pistol will allow you to do most anything you can reasonably expect of a handgun.
Congratulations..

Redemption Arc? Raptor II 10mm Flies Today
Kimber Talk Crew,
Today is the day! As I am still searching for a Kimber to settle on for my choice 1911, I sold off my Rapide Scorpius in .45 ACP. After a trip back to the factory and still encountering some issues, the pistol was serviceable but no longer held my confidence. Perhaps my expectations were too high but, at a $1,600 price tag, I guess I had hoped for more.
But, that does not mean I was going to give up.
I picked up this beautiful Raptor II in 10mm recently and I will be taking it out to shoot here today for it's first run. I wanted a 10mm handgun for obvious reasons and felt that it was a good opportunity to kill to birds with one stone. I'll let you know how it goes!

Alright so I ran 140 rounds through the Raptor II 10mm so far.
100 rounds of Sellier & Belot 180gr FMJ
20 rounds of Sig Sauer Elite 180gr JHP
20 rounds of Underwood 220 Hard Cast Flat Nose
I had 3 malfunctions total.
1x Failure To Feed
2x Failure To Eject

All 3 malfunctions were from the S&B 180gr FMJ's. Not perfect but not the worst first run I've had with a 1911. Could just not like the ammo or just working out some kinks in the early part of the break in period. I used three factory Kimber 8 round magazines for the testing. 2 of the magazines experienced malfunctions and one did not. And yes, the images are mirrored from recording and I did not fix them haha.
I will keep you posted on further progress!
