This will be pretty short since I don't have much to say. I did 150 rounds of 230 grain Magtech ball ammo using the factory supplied 7 round magazine. Not a single problem of any kind even though I did not relube during the session. Recoil was less than I expected, but somewhat more than a full-size using the same ammo. Easily manageable even without front strap checkering. Accuracy seemed to be acceptable, but was slightly low and to the left. At this point, I am not willing to rule out the operator since I am mostly just putting rounds down range. I will be putting night sights on it in the very near future, so this is barely even an irritant, especially as this is still the break-in. Afterwards, I performed a field strip and clean which was very quick and easy. I do believe this one is going to end up as my EDC, if the Peruda case contines as it is. The hunt is on for an IWB holster.

To be continued...

Actually, I write left-handed, shoot pool and a rifle left-handed and most other things right handed. There is a bit of ambidextrous stuff, like screwdrivers and pliers. I do shoot a pistol right-handed but left eye dominant. I admit it, I am a fairly screwed up individual, but can usually hit what I am shooting at especially if it is the broad side of a barn and I am inside. :)

OP, I am sure that you will receive many recommendations as to holsters, but I have a boat load of holsters, and last summer I finally found one that I love for my Ultra CDP. It is a DeSantis Cozy Partner. Got mine a BP.

Don't know how big you are or anything, but I am 5'7 and only 135 lbs. This is the best IWB I have ever had.

Just my two cents worth....Good luck and happy to hear your Kimber is AOK......
