Anyone have one of these? Have you been happy with them? Good value?

Have one no, almost bought one a couple times though, but I do have one of the base model Ultras. Compared to the base model, you get a nice low matte finish, meprolights, ambi safety and magwell. Personally I dislike magwells on carry guns, but if you have larger hands they do add a bit of length to the grip. I do like the finish though. |

I have a base model UC just like the previous poster (SS Series I). I actually prefer my cc rig NOT to have an ambi safety. Of course, I'm right handed, so don't really need one either. I put on a set of trijicons and coccobola grips and called it a day with mine. All for much less than the tactical UC would have cost me. Not that you asked, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have gone with a 4in bbl with officer's frame. This would be optimal. Good luck. Fred |
| I got to pick one up Saturday and went out to shoot it and was very pleased with the results I got. The magwell is good if you have bigger hands cause it gives you a little more length on the grip and that helps me a lot. Shoot about 100 rds and didnt have a problem. I love the gun and it will be my carry gun. |

I bought the 4" version . The pro tactical II . It's been good so far with about 400 rounds through it . At first the trigger was a little stiff , but it's smoothed out considerably over the last 100 rounds . One thing you need to watch is using steel follower mags with the aluminum frame , because they will gouge the area below the ramp . |
| I have the Kimber Ultra Tactical II. I really like the gun. The grip is large enough to allow all your fingers to grip the pistol. I find that muzzle flip is very controlable. The sights are nice and bright. The alum. frame make it a light 1911 to carry. Also the magwell is removeable with an allen bolt if you decide you don't like it or need a lower profile. Hope this helps |
Only an issue with CMC mags as the follower follows the round forward on the last round. |
That's not quite true . Because here is the mag I was using when I noticed the issue :  Care to guess who's name is on this mag ? It's the mag that came with the gun  
|
I believe Kimber was shipping CMC mags with their pistols and restamping the base-plate. At least that's what I have heard. They have since changed the follower to something that won't eat up your gun. But then again, I did get one of the ones shown when I picked up my Tactical Custom 2 earlier this year.
