kimber stainless 2 in 10mm i picked it up today at sportsmans, it must be a distributor exclusive as i can't find anything on it at all on the web.

Pretty sharp weapon I must say

I have been eyeing that since the ad came out. So far I have held off, but it's early.

i was holding out as well, the site showed the store i shop at didn't have one in stock, i stopped by just to browse yesterday and they had 2 of them in the case thats when i caved in.

Fantastic guns...  I've had one in .38 Super since 2003 and added a 10mm about three years ago...

To make a long story short...turns out Kimber cuts the breachface of the 10mm and 9mm slides both the same so I could have just added a 10mm barrel to my Super...  I ended up with a multi-caliber gun instead...

Had always wanted to do this since reading a story in Guns&Ammo many years ago...

Have a great time with the new gun...

That gun is great, have you shot it yet, bigdog72?  Coincidentally, I bought the same gun this week at my local Sportsman's Warehouse which recently opened.  It is a Sportsman's Warehouse Exclusive firearm.  I didn't even know that gun existed until the local store opened.  They had it on sale for $699.99 and I had to have it.  They took my Kimber GFO 10mm as a trade-in too.  I've only shot 50 rounds so far, but it shoots great.

I ended up getting one too. Only a couple hundred rounds so far, but I really like it.

awesome  whats your load

I'm not sure if I'm being asked, but I'm primarily shooting Magtech 180 Gr JHP and my brother is now beginning to reload 10mm.  I was very surprised to learn when I bought my first 10mm last year the majority of target ammo for this caliber is wad cutter or semi-wad cutter.  The Magtech 180 Gr JHP and wadcutter ammo is pretty hot and fast for the money with 604 ft.lbs of muzzle energy and 1230 FPS of muzzle velocity out of a 5" barrel.  I love my new Sportsman's Warehouse Exclusive Kimber Stainless II 10mm.  I will ultimately add night sights to it.  I see they are back up to $849.99 again.

If your velocity figures come from a chronograph they're believable. If they come from the Magtech box then quite a bit less so.

I apologize, the specs come from their web site.  I have a chronograph too but hadn't really thought about checking the stuff out until just now.
