Kimber Eclipse

[Incursion]

Anyone seen one of these in person? The finish is sweet looking.

 

[Glock_Racer]

Yep, they sure are purty aren't they?

What finish is that? I heard it's a stainless with black anodizing.

Sounds about right, something like a black oxide finish...

Finish is reminiscent of AMT, although I know there is no comparison in quality. I like the Eclipse line, and I hope they become more common at my local gun store.

Custom Eclipse (5")

Seen it, yes. Shot it, yes. Carry it, yes. I love this pistol. So much so that I got a Ultra Eclipse (3") for a BUG. The Ultra is already back at Kimber for jamming problems but the Custom now has over a 1000 rounds through her with no troubles at all and I shoot it quite well. I hope those jokers can fix the Ultra. It shot well too when it finally got into battery.

Here is a picture of mine. As you can see one very Exellent looking 1911 and extremly accurate. One ragged hole offhand at 50'. Trigger pull with the stock match grade trigger, After I adjusted and lubed it 2 3/4 LB's.

AndABeer, I didn't know they made an Ultra in the eclipse line (it's not on their www site).

What did it cost compared to the regular old Ultra Carry?

It must be real purdy

 

[AndABeer]

Zundfolge,

Yes, they make an Ultra and a Pro size. When/if I get it back I'll post a pic in this thread. If they can get it to work, it'll be even purdier.

I paid 950 for the Custom and 899 for the Ultra. There is a used Pro for sale at http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=2269900 but the pic sucks.

Yep, I did cover up the checkering. But only when I'm plate shooting, after I get done winning they they come off and the laminates go back on.

Here's mine, less than 300 rounds. I love it. Its my first 1911 style pistol ever. The finish it just awesome. I got a steal on the gun, four Wilson Combat mags and a Bladetech holster all for $850.00 no tax, bought it from an individual who only put 100 rounds through it. Everyone keeps telling me I'll hate this pistol as soon as it starts failing. Are 1911's bad about failing? I heard mostly good things and couldn't find anything bad about Kimber before I bought it.
