I’ve been sitting on this for a few days hoping it would sell out. I want it but shouldn’t drop almost $1600 right now lol.
Comes with an RMR footprint plate and 3 mags (2 20 round and 1 17 round)

Friendly reminder not to buy Kimber firearms

Out of the loop, why not?
paperkeyboardalt@reddit
Long story short, Kimber used to be ass. Now they have a different CEO and are rising from the ashes.
Their old CEO now works for Sig, if that tells you anything.

Show me on the little doll where Kimber touched you.

Hahaha back right pocket

Been wanting this model but keep hearing mac9 ds is a better value.
And honestly I want something threaded if possible.

Isn't the grip atrocious on the MAC?
paperkeyboardalt@reddit
It absolutely is. A lot of people replace it with a Prodigy grip (including me).
shadowbansarestupid@reddit
If you're planning to replace the grip, yea go with a MAC 9 DS. However, if you're just going to keep it stock, this is a pretty fantastic deal.
Next_Entertainer_404@reddit
Had one and sold it. Mac 9 ds comp with a tune feels better and shoots better for cheaper.
Ok_Soup_8029@reddit
Really? I handled two Macs non comp at the store and they felt terrible. Slide and trigger were gritty.
paperkeyboardalt@reddit
The slide on the MAC is rough and can get hung up on the disconnector ramp. But It's very easy to fix with some cheap files, sanding stones, and elbow grease. Same with the trigger, very easy to tune.
Le_Notsee_BrownShirt@reddit
That’s why he said with a time, a $900 gun with $2-300 in parts feels infinitely better than the kimber
jrad117@reddit
Could you share how much you spent tuning up the MAC 9 to get it to compete the 2k11?
Next_Entertainer_404@reddit
Roughly $200, and part of that was the new guide rod just for easier disassembly and cleaning. Didn’t do anything functionally.
jrad117@reddit
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been considering the Mac 9 as my first 2011 style pistol so this is helpful to know.
paperkeyboardalt@reddit
I also have a MAC DS9 and after some slight upgrades, it honestly shoots nearly as nice as the few Staccatos I've shot.
de_dax@reddit
Where do I find a parts list?
paperkeyboardalt@reddit
Watch this guy's video: https://youtu.be/OxzQUpyLY4Y?si=WmHYdEvV7kC4f9u8
It's for the OG MAC DS 9, not the comp, but they are nearly identical.
clicktoseemyfetishes@reddit
Needs lighter springs and better optics screws and that’s 90% of the usual list. Like $30-40 in parts
NewbRedditer@reddit
Id hope a tuned comp gun feels better... A more fair comparison would be the 2k11 comp, but i know that costs more. You are paying for a better warranty, american made product, and (from what i understand) better fit and finish with a metal grip module vs polymer.
68spcwhore@reddit (OP)
I have a Mac DS-D, really the only reason I haven’t grabbed a 2k11
SodaJones1371@reddit
When Kimber comes out with more traditional duty style aesthetics for their 2k11s I’ll be interested.
69420blazeit_org_edu@reddit
It's called the Warrior
SodaJones1371@reddit
Yes but no. That’s a 2011 frame and a 1911 slide. Looking for a more premium duty focused 2k11
clicktoseemyfetishes@reddit
Doesn’t Staccato pretty much have that market cornered
69420blazeit_org_edu@reddit
True. Hrmmm. How about the non comp Pro models?
perfes@reddit
What is the difference between this model and the one that is a few hundred dollars more? Always thought the 2K11s were around 2k.
grimduck17@reddit
Most are sub 2k usually around 1700-1900 for 5”
4.25” is generally more expensive and the comp is more expensive.
This model has hovered 1500-1600 from other vendors I’ve been checking over the last few months. It just has the metal grip module instead of the MJD or Kimber specific plastic module
riccum@reddit
Currently the stainless pro comp is on sale somewhere for 1900 I think
yami76@reddit
That’s the non-sale price for this?
NewbRedditer@reddit
This exact model has been on my wishlist since last black friday when kygunco had this price and freeshipping
vietec@reddit
Wake me up when the 45 AARP models are this price.
sasquatchsam@reddit
Spend a little more and get the target model with the slide cuts and MJD grip. It’s worth it.
Daret_89@reddit
Not the best but it’s decent. I picked up a stainless just below $1500 last year.
