Rcp II

[Big Gary]

I have been on a wait for this since november and picked it up this weekend.
Own several other Kimber 45's and this is my first ultra.
It will be a couple weeks before I can go shoot it, little muddy here and got some other projects going on. So first thing I have done is read everything.
And tear the gun down and give it a good cleaning and lube. Plus got to check out the gun a little better too. I like the look of the finish on this gun, at first you would think it is black, but it is a very slight two tone, the frame is grey, but to me almost looks like it has a green tone to it. Have to be up close and in good light to see this, otherwise it just looks like a black gun. I have worked the slide a bunch and dry fired it, trigger does have a bit of creep, then drops hammer.
I will see if that breaks in better with time and shooting, if not I will clean it up.
I have given this gun a good looking over while cleaning it and found something I think very odd. Gun comes with thin red wood grips with three ball mill cuts for traction in them. I have ordered black VZ's for it, but the odd thing is the right grip panel is cut for an ambi safety. All the Kimbers I have ever dealt with do not need this cut for the ambi safety.

Everything seems to function nice on it, will tell you more after I get out and launch some lead thru it. See what I can hit with the minimalist sight groove on it.

Great gun. I have 2, one from run 2 and one from run 3. Kimber made 3 runs with 500 guns each run. First run was around 1997 and had a true hammer. Run 2 was around 2004 and the hammer was flush with the slide when down. It was impossible to lower the hammer after loading a round. In run 3 which started about 2010 they came back with the small hammer like in run 1. I actually replaced the hammer on my run 2 gun with a commander hammer.

Some people don't like the fact that it doesn't have sights but it never bothered me. My first RCP II is my daily carry.

So does yours have the ambi cut on the grip too?

Congrats on the new Kimber and let us know how it performs.
