Well, I picked up a Kimber Crimson Carry Pro yesterday. I'll give a RR soon as I get some time to hit the range.

Can some of you post up some pictures of your holsters. I already have the crossbreeds coming but would like to see something else. In particular a nice "Sunday go to Meeting" rig.

Went to Winchester Shooting Gallery after lunch today. I put 50 rounds through the Kimber. 
Got a FTF on the second round 
, that was the only malfunction.
I did replace the Kimber mag with 2 Wilson Mags. I am still getting used to just 8 rounds per mag.
There was not a single ragged hole anywhere to be seen and I need more practice.
I believe that the recoil on the Kimber was less than the XD .40 Service. I am a convert, it'll be 1911 from now on. Well maybe a 2011 STI will be in the near future.
I have my eye on the Tactical 5.0
Also put 190 rounds through my Ruger 5.56 for the first time. That was a dream, of course I forgot my sight tool. I was able to get pretty tight grouping at 25yds with BUIS. No issues and when I gave her a bath this afternoon I did not see any signs of the dreaded carrier tilt.

Of all the holsters I've used, My Milt Sparks VM2 is by far my favorite. I've run the gamut from one I made myself, to Tucker. Leather, and Kydex. IWB, OWB, Paddle, belt-slide, tuckable, etc. Should I ever pick another pistol for carry, the first thing I'll do is order another VM2 for it.
