Re: 3 inch .45 Sufficient?

Yes I use Federal 230 grain hydro-shok +p jhp's

230 grain is (I believe) the absolute most common grain for .45acp

As stated above, almost any manufacturer makes 230 grain jhp.

Re: 3 inch .45 Sufficient?

Hi guys,

I'm not concerned with reliability, mine is flawless with 10k rounds. I'm asking about the velocity loss causing expansion issues.


Thanks,

Dave

I am sure this has been covered, but how do you all feel about Fed Hydra-shok + p's in a Kimber ultra cdp11 (3 incher)?

Re: Kimber grip question

I know this isn't the ?, but for carry I find a rubber grip to be better than wood as I wear iwb. Rubber rubs me better.

Wood grips look nice, but feel not so nice:)

Kimber recommends what shooter said. I have put 1600 on it, and it is shooting just fine, but I am changing it anyway.

Some say Kimbers are pricey, but I think it has been well worth it.

I changed to rubber grips, as I carry IWB, but that's all.
