Nice Kimber Custom. Suggest Wilson Combat magazines. I have had nothing but trouble with factory Kimber magazines and won't use them. "When you're determined to survive, you leave nothing to chance." |

I use the Wilson Combat mags in my Ultra Covert II, and I love them. Never had any trouble with the factory mag, I just like the extra grip for removing the gun from the holster. Nice weapon Fred. |

if you live in a wet environment be careful, Kimbers will rust faster than any other guy i've ever seen, don't know why. Wipe it down with a silicone cloth now and then and that's stopped mine(and i'm embarrassed to say) from rusting anymore. |

I've seen a speck or two on my carbon steel hammer. You'd think they could use stainless steel at the price they're charging. |

Thanks. It for competition only. The one I trust with my life, and carry almost every day is my Colt Government Model Combat Commander chambered in .38 Super.

Thank you my friend. Good weapon care is a philosophy. Proper handling ALL the time. Through cleaning after use is just part of the sport. You shoot it, you clean it. Then a quality oiling before it's put away. Make any necessary repairs promptly. Then you know it's ready to go when you NEED it. The .38 Super has a very flat trajectory which makes for superb accuracy and is indeed a very hot round. Tremendous muzzle flash! "When you're determined to survive, you leave nothing to chance." |

A friend that lives on Longboat Key wipes his entire collection with a silicone cloth every week. The humidity ladened with the ocean salt is hazardous to any metal, especially gun metal. "When you're determined to survive, you leave nothing to chance." |

I'm a couple miles from the gulf of Mexico, so I know all about it. My Kimber has seen a spec or two, but I carry it daily. I have to be careful with the oil, or I'll be wearing it on my clothes. I wonder if I can replace the Carbon Barrel and hammer with Stainless parts. Do you guys know if that's an option? |
