Kimber Eclipse Reviews

by **Rivers2k** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 9:39 am

Does Anyone know of were or if it is at all possible/legal to get Ammo over the internet? I just went to pick up a box of .45ACP ammo and it was $27 for a box of 50. It jumped $11 in 2 months! another few months I will have to take out a mortgage to go shooting and I thought gas was bad.

So I am looking for a place where I could possibly order by the case at a "reasonable" price any info would be much appreciated, thanks.

Legal, yes assuming your 21 for handgun ammunition. I use ammobank.com Tigwelder56 knows some good sites and finds alot of good deals, you might contact him for more information.

I have the Custom Eclipse II, My only complete is the price of 45 ammo. That still dosen't stop me from hitting the range, because the gun is truely a pleasure to shoot and is pretty easy on the eyes too! I diid alot of research before purchasing this 1911 and if you've got the extra coin go for it, I couldn't be happier!

I don't think Kimber manufactures any firearm that isn't top of the line. They're quite particular about ammunition and require a thorough break in period. Once accomplished you'll have something very special and if you ask Kimber owners, they're worth their weight in gold. A testament to their value can be made with a question. How many used Kimbers have you seen on dealer shelves?

I just acquired a Kimber Eclipse Five inch in 10MM, It runs like a Chevy small block and it's dead on. Like all ammo 10MM is high in price and sometimes hard to find, but I have a good stock pile of ammo, for right now. Get the ammo while you can guys.

I just added the Eclipse pro-carry to My collection today! Aside from it's great looks, it ran around 250 rounds from an assortment of Taurus Hex, Federal tac-bonded, Ranger T, and regular fmj's perfectly. I was also feeding it some spent-casings so I could practice tap & racks (I alternated live rounds with empty shells), and it fed the empties quite well too!lol The checkering & grip almost glue themselves to My hand, and of coarse the gun boasts the accuracy Kimber is known for. Another Kimber = another 5 bullet rating!

I'd just like to add My disappointment for the SIS model, from looking at it on the net I couldn't figure out how I felt, especially with the serrations, they look more like a lousy marketing technique rather then a performance feature. I played with one at the shop today and can honestly say it's one Kimber I can do without. The serrations SUCK and the finish is way too slippery for a serious defense gun.

Congrats on your new purchase. I still love my Eclipse as much as the first day I bought it. It is my main go to gun. I am thinking about getting the Eclipse ultra for a carry because I am so impressed with the full sized. But I may just go with the RCP. But I don't have to make my decision right away since they are both $1200.00.

I agree with your feeling about the SIS I thought when I saw it online it was pretty cool for a marketing gimmick but then I handled it and it was so slippery I had the hardest time racking it back the whole gun was way to slippery.

Glocks, you have too much money, lol! I just want to let you know that your good fortune brings tears to my eyes every time you buy a new gun! What did you tell your girlfriend this time? You've either flipped her or better make sure she never finds the address of this website >>>GRIN<<
