My vote is for more women, period. *smile

A better analogy is that would you be willing to buy a new car when the engine may choke a few times because the fuel wouldn't feed while you driving during the break-in period.

I would be willing to accept that the accuracy is not so great during the break-in, but NOT the gun wouldn't fire due to jamming.

While I understand folks' comments about the break-in period, keep in mind that guns are no different from other machinery. As an example, every time you buy a new car or light truck, there is a break in period. Should the manufacturers drive the car for 1500 miles to seat and condition all the bearings and seals before shipping it to the dealer? How many of us would buy a car as "new" with 1500 miles on it? Guns are no different and a break-in period is normal.

You do know that my comment about 100% right out of the box is actually trying to help the both us and the manuf.

Returned products generate huge cost to any company. Not only tangible cost of warranty, but also lose of repution and potential customers. My motto has always been if it can be fixed, it should have been made right from the begining.

As consumers, we should return as many products as possible, a way to force the company to pay more attention to their product quality.

The whole "break-in" period is truly amazing to me. If a $1000 carry pistol needs some break-in period to work properly, it should have been done by the manufacturer so that once it's out of the box, it works.

For a $1000 gun, it needs to work right out of the box like a Glock!

I shot a lot of Blazer Brass out of my UC II. No problem.

Seriously, instead of shooting 100s of ammo, load some blank ammo and hand cycle your gun with those blanks.

I did that about 500 times before I took it to range. I still had problem and I sent it right back to Kimber - they paid for shipping anyway.

When it came back, I had no problem with Kimber Tac mag.

I also agree that for the price, Kimber is crap. There are guns at almost 1/2 of the price but with 100 times better quality such as my Glock 19.

The problem is that I cannot find a gun that is:
1. as easy to conceal as Ultra Carry II for ME
2. has an external safety

Send it back to Kimber.
