Hey guys. this is only my second post, so hello to all. I just purchased a stainless Pro Carry in .40 cal. Anyone else own one of these? If so, what ammo are you carrying? Next question, who makes .40 cal mags? I have heard that the .45 mags will work, but havent tried it yet. Any info and feedback is appreciated.

Man, its nice that you guys here are SOOOO friendly to someone new. Think I'll just forget about this site.

Well Procop606, I’m not unfriendly, but I don’t own a .40 and don’t ”believe” you can use .45 mags for .40, but I don't know that for a fact so I didn’t post.

Sorry, for the outburst, just got off a rough shift. Thanks anyway, though.

Well, I guess I got a good one. Put 250 rounds through it yesterday without one single failure of any kind. Ball and hollowpoints.

It is good to hear a positive Kimber experience. I'm glad you like the gun. I'm curious, why did you chose it in .40? Just curious is all, there are a lot of people that freak when you mention a different caliber than .45 in a 1911.

I have had several duty weapons in .40 cal, and really liked the round. BUT, I like the 1911 style pistols as well. I have owned a Kimber Custom Classic, as well as a Springfield in .45ACP. When I saw the Pro Carry in the .40 cal, It was sort of the best of both worlds for me. Dont get me wrong, I am a .45 fanatic, but for duty use, I just prefer the .40 cal performance. Also, our department is going to .40 caliber issued weapons, and I will have the option to carry my own personal weapon, as long as it is a .40. The Pro Carry has everything I need in a duty weapon. full size grip, shorter barrel, for easier off duty carry, and it is almost as light as my Glock 22. Plus, being a 1911, it is fast and accurate.

Glad to hear you like the gun. I just ordered on in .45 but have to wait 2 weeks to take it home (Hawaii). But the dealer is a shooting instructor with me and will bring it to the range this week for some fun.
