Kimber Pro CDP II
Custom Defense Package is a fast draw, concealed carry special!
I first became aware of Kimber as a 1911 provider in the mid-1990s, shortly after I started writing articles. The Custom Classic was my first exposure to the brand and it was an eye-opening experience. I had become accustomed to 1911 pistols with small sights and an inability to function with hollow-point ammo as well as 1911s that had been toyed around with by the guys that could repair Uncle Joe’s shotgun, but had no experience with Uncle Sam’s pistol.
New out of the box, the Kimber Custom Classic consumed volumes of .45ACP, including factory loads and commercially remanufactured ammo without a stoppage. It has some years on it now and it still runs whenever it’s called on. There’s been nothing done to it. It has the remainder of the factory finish, the factory trigger pull, the same parts it did when it left except for recoil spring replacement at regular intervals. It needs to have the full-length guide rod removed and GI parts installed. I’ve meant to get around to that for some years. Otherwise, it’s a good a .45 as I’ve ever owned.
