Hey all, I have a one week old Kimber CDS9. I've put 600 rounds through it over two range trips.

The 1st trip I used about 50 Federal HST 147g and 250 Winchester FMJ 114g. I had no malfunctions except it would lock the slide back on the last round, this happened about 1 out of 4 times, on different mags.

I fixed the lock back issue by shaving down the magazine followers. To do this, I removed the slide from the handgun then inserted each mag with 1 bullet, this confirmed that the slide lock was getting pushed up. I trimmed each magazine follower little by little until it no longer pushed up when 1 bullet in the mag.

Before the 2nd trip I cleaned and lubricated well.

On the 2nd trip I put 100 Federal HST 147g and 200 Winchester FMJ 114g. I had two FTF, the round would partially enter the barrel but the back of the round would be under the slide's breach face. Both FTF were the same failure in the same way. These occurred around 550 round count and around the middle of the magazine's round count.

Would you send the gun back in for warranty work?

The gun ran pretty good but out of 5 mags 2 failed to feed. One last round second was second to last round. Gonna run a few more boxes out of it when I can. Someone said adjust the extractor, if that doesn’t work replace the crappy factory mag. I was running 230g Winchester ball.

I am looking to buy a OWB holster for my Kimber 2k11 Comp.

Safariland does not have one in production yet but many have said the Safariland holsters for the Staccato XC work very well.

I’ve narrowed it down to these two models and wanted to ask the masses if anyone is rocking one if these on their Kimber 2k11/Comps using the Staccato XC holster model?

Also, I have the bail loop on my other holsters that I am used to. Some say go without it. The 6354 does not have it and I was curious how those that have it like it without the bail and cover?

The 6360RDS has the bail and cover like my other holsters and what I am used to. But I think it would be an easy transition from one to another.

Thoughts? And thanks in advance!!

Grabbed this on sale from Palmetto State for their 4th of July sale. I'm excited to get this at my FFL.

Any info on this yet?

I’ve been shooting this since I got it a while back. It’s been mostly reliable but had an issue with a certain ammo. I’m happy to say that after 700 rounds, it’s now 100% reliable and I’m very happy with it. I’ll put another 500 rounds and then add it to my carry rotation if it stays that way. I use a variety of mags from different manufacturers and all have been reliable. Shooting 115gr and 124gr range ammo and 124gr hollow points.

Just wanted to drop a pic of my two favorites. Got the 2K11 Pro Comp a couple weeks ago. Been loving it. One of the most fun pistols I’ve ever shot. Cant wait to take it back to the range and run it some more. I’ve also put a lot of work (read as threw money at it until it did exactly what I wanted) into the PDP. It’s the best striker pistol I’ve ever shot. Granted, I’ve shot it more than any other striker I’ve ever been around. Anyway, this is basically just a gun porn post. Just wanted to share.

I’ve been carrying a CDS9 for the better part of six months now, and have been wondering if there’s a lot of thoughts about the pistol from the community? My personal experience has been very positive with the performance, but iffy on the coating and value.

I am looking for an IWB holster for my 2K11 pro comp. I’ve run the T. Rex holsters before but they don’t have a holster specifically for my Pro Comp. Is there a better holster for 3:00 - 4:00 position (I like the sweat pad). I am having trouble finding one. I assume any 2011 4.25” holster would probably work, but don’t want to waste money on a lefty holster that won’t work. Picture because she’s a beauty and I love it.
