Kimber 10mm in Custom TLE II

JimBobTX · January 22 2014 08:27:29 AM MST

I just got my Custom TLE II in 10mm. I sold my DW Razorback a year or so and have regretted getting rid of my 10mm. When I saw
Kimber was making the TLE II in 10mm I had to have one.

Congratulations! Range reports are needed, Kimber's have been one of the better 1911's in 10mm chambering.
Best of luck to you... ${$default_cool_smiley}$

I was hoping to get some more shooting done this weekend. So far, 50rds of Remington UMC 180gr. TMJ and 50rds of
Prvi Partizin 180gr. JHP without a hitch. I just picked up a Kimber Stainless II in 9mm yesterday too. It's SWEET...the 9mm
kicks like a .22 almost in this heavy 1911 frame. :-)

Not bad looking! I was wondering how is case support on the Kimber? Maybe I've seen a picture before, but I can't remember, but here's to hoping there's good case support!

It uses a ramped barrel and the brass looks to be in real good shape after
firing hot loads through it.

Well I've got to shoot my 10mm TLE some and it's been outstanding. It's performed
flawlessly. I've shot everything from Double Tap 135gr to 230gr. Prvi 180gr. and Underwood
155gr performed great also. The only thing I've done to the gun is install an Ed Brown blued
snakeskin mainspring housing and a good polishing of the feed ramp, breech face, and
chamber. I'm very happy with the reliability and it's even worked perfect using Wilson Combat
.45 magazines. I saw where some guns in 10mm will work with these mags so I tried it.
This will work until I find some WC 10mm mags in stock ${$default_smiley_smiley}$

I'd recommend giving Tripp Research's Cobra Mags a try. I've had great results with their magazines in my .45 and 10mm Kimbers.

I have a Target II 10mm and the chamber support is very good
