I have decided to listen to everyone and try to give Kimber a call to get a new gun (Which I can sell immediately NIB). Thank you for the support and input. I plan on getting either a Kahr TP45 or P45 from Bud's Police Supply for between $500-$566 shipped and delivered with the black oxide over...
Third time with Kimber isn't the charm
Well I am officially done with Kimber for good. I got my Ultra back from the factory Thursday after about a month and hit the range Friday. Per my conversation and documentation from Kimber, the extractor needed to be replaced (not just adjusted for...
ultraspec-Did they give you a refund or anything?
To clarify I now do have the internal extractor which is causing the problems. I orginally had an EE but when i ret'd the first time to fix the FTF's they replaced the slide with new internal extractor.
I sent it out a couple days ago with...
Thank you allentown for the late post as it reminded me to update this thread. I posted a new thread "ultra carry returned from factory fails" by mistake instead of updating this thread. Long and short of it is Kimber did a tremendous job fixing the failure to feed issue….so much so that it now...
I should add that the only ammunition I have used in the pistol is new production American Eagle 230 gr FMJ. The magazines used were two new Wilson Combat mags that I broke in the springs by keeping them loaded for two days before use and a brand new factory mag.
Just got my Kimber Ultra Carry II back from the factory about two weeks ago. The orig post of the initial problems can be found here but this is the summary: 750-800 rounds through the gun with constant failure to feeds and go fully into battery (not a "break in" issue). I sent the gun back and...
In addition to the above mentioned work, Kimber also "modified the ejector port" which I assume was done on the new internal extractor slide and not external extractor one they replaced. Also, they replaced the recoil spring assembly which I assume means that I have brand new springs as well...
Ultra Carr II Problems Update/Resolution

Replaced the magazine
Polished the feed ramp

I hope I get as lucky as you IMTHEDUKE my Lt. (head of our SWAT team) as had one of the variations of the Ultra Carry platform and swears by it. My Sgt. has an ULTRA CDP II which he had to send back for similiar issues as mine. He got it back and it functions properly with ball but will only...
In regards to the factory magazine issue, I have a problem when a premium gun maker cannot produce a properly functioning magazine for their own pistol. I am not a kimber basher and I sincerly hope mine comes back from the factory working properly as I love the accuracy, trigger, and ergonomics...

First 200-250 rounds about a dozen failure to feeds wherein the slide holds open on a live round or manages to get the round halfway into the chamber. These would be fixed...
