That's all I used to use until I came across Wilson Combat magazines. I like the ETMs, which are purpose built 8 round magazines, not a 7 round tube converted to hold 8 rounds. Wilson has great CS and stands behind its products.

I had a 5" CDP II and didn't like it because it was fussy about ammo, had MIM parts, a plastic MSH and the barrel rusted way to easily.
It wouldn't shoot my home loads reliably with a FTRB every 80 rounds or so, and in my world you eat the reloads or live elsewhere.
My Dan Wesson Bobtail shoots them fine, in fact 4k rounds down the pipe so far and not a problem to report.
I believe Kimber's chambers are cut too tight.

CDP & ULTRA CARRY
I have these two Kimbers for over twelve years and have been pleased with their reliability and workmanship. My S&W 625 and 1911PD are easily as accurate. My 457 and 4513 aren't even close. I am confident with the Ultra Carry as a CCW piece, though I can say the same for both the SIGs and S&Ws that I carry from time to time, as well.

I had an ultra carry and it was probably the softest shooting and most accurate (by me) shooting .45 that I've ever had. It had a fatal flaw in the Schwartz firing pin block though that, IMO, is an error waiting to happen. When by pressing the grip safety during dissasmbly the little release sticks up and is liable to be sheared off by the slide rendering the gun inoperable, I just thought that it was a poor design that was a screw up waiting to turn my gun into a paperweight. Traded it for a combat commander It was in beautiful condition plus cash so I am happy. That feature though is what turned me off of Kimber.

Mine's a 10mm 1911 frame about 10+ years old. Cycles flawlessly. The only thing I wish is that the BG could be next to me so I could beat him to death with the empty casings. Great Gun!!

Maybe mine does not really count, but I have a new Kimber Rimfire Target. Two range visits, 600 rounds fired, with no failures. Seems well made, and works beautifully!
The only issue has been with the first two rounds not loading from a ProMag 10 round magazine. With the Kimber magazines, no problems.
