We had a gun show here today and i had been considering another carry gun...i been carrying my LCP.Well i am looking around and kept seeing the
Kimber Ultra carry II...awesome but expensive..especially our gun show prices.So i go by the local gun shop i use mostly and he had one...way
cheaper then the gun show..Kimber Crimson Trace Ultra Carry II..45 ACP. Bought it.I am headed to the indoor range tomorrow to ring it out.
I guess i will get a super tuck for it and left hand middle of the back with it. Need to find extra mags to Kimber Tac-mags somethings.

The laser warning label is a hoot. You wouldn't want any o' them evil laser rays hitting you.

Thanks. I used your pics to sell a new gun to my wife. "see, this is the kind of gun I want" I think I'm making progress. I got her to say "uh huh". That's progress, right?

Very nice! I am sure that you will enjoy it.
I couldn't help noticing in your disassembly picture that you used the wire like takedown tool provided with the gun for disassembly. In case you weren't aware I thought that I would mention this guy's Ultra tool -
http://www.1911ultratool.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
His device perfectly alines the the slide stop with the disassembly notch making field stripping a breeze, something that the Kimber tool doesn't do. I have a Kimber Ultra CDP and can testify that the thing really works. FYI - I have no connection with the guy who makes these.

I'm intrigued! Little gun, big bullets, CT, good trigger; you must report on accuracy and recoil (compared to LCP). I'm guessing it'll be a lot more accurate with that 1911 style trigger and the recoil will will be comparable if not a little lighter. Am I right to assume 3X the price of an LCP with CT? I think I might need to add this to the list of guns that I don't really need, I can't afford, but I want.

Congrats!
I love the little gun, big bullet scenario.
I love the Kimber Ultra CDP II I just picked up.

You guys that have a Ultra tell me about a holster. I was thinking a super tuck...can it ride mid of the back ok? Would you get a left handed (i'm right handed) but seems easier to get at from mid back.
