I DID IT!!!
« on: January 14, 2008, 04:14:41 AM »
Finally after much thought, a lot of reading, and saving some money, I bought my first 1911.

Kimber Stainless II. 

I am soooo happy right now....

Here's my first "Stupid" question:

What is the deal with some 1911's holding 7 shots and others 8?

My factory mag was a 7 shot mag, but they sold me two additional mags that hold 8.

What's up with that????

Congrats!!  You'll love that pistol.

As far as the mags go you'll find that there are different sizes.  My carry gun is an Kimber Ultra Carry the original mag holds six, but the two extra mags I carry hold 7 a piece.

These belt slides are the best I've tried. I am wearing my ultra carry in one at work as I type this. Super quality, good price!
