Hi everyone. First post and glad to be here.
I got my CCW permit about a year ago and bought a millenium Taurus in .40S&W. The PT140 is light and easy to carry, but the gritty DAO trigger makes accuracy difficult beyond 10-15 yards.
I broke down a few weeks ago and bought a Kimber Ultra Carry (also .40S&W). Wow. What a difference. I've only had the chance to put a few hundred rounds through it so far, but I love the way it shoots. I know you guys have a wealth of knowledge out there, so I'd like to ask a couple of questions.
1. I tend to shoot to the left of center and these old eyes have trouble picking up the front sight in anything other than bright light. The stock sights are plain and fixed. Any recommendations?
2. I practice with ball ammo, but what's the best defense load for Kimber?
3. Are there any quirks with this gun that I ought to watch for?
4. The shop owner talked me out of a Colt Defender. The deed is done, but how does the Defender compare to the Ultra Carry?
I'm anxious to learn more about 1911 style pistols and look forward to hearing from you folks.
