Kimber Aegis II: Small, 9mm 1911

[SuperRip7]

that Kimber looks cute.

[5516dk]

Early models have the hammer shown, current models (2011) Ultra, Pro and Custom all have conventional "Commander" style hammer Kimber has been making Ultra size pistols for almost a decade. The Springfield EMP is nice weapon but has no (ZERO) parts that will interchange with standard 1911.

Kimber Ultras use 1911 trigger group and small parts from Officer model 1911's

Cool pistol I really want one chambered in 9mm!!

[jamesjr934]

A bad copy of a Springfield EMP...

[5516dk]

@jamesjr934 , EMP is "ground up" design. Common function, but NOT common parts w/ 1911. Kimber 9mm Ultra models available 5 years befor the EMP. Fit and finish of Kimber is superior to Springfield. I've owned both.

Compare side by side, be honest.

got this gat today.

[TR5T]

Never heard of this model, I suppose the bobbed hammer may have been for concealment?? snag proofing???

[MrWeb49]

no decocker ?

[jamesjr934]

@MrWeb49

No, it's a 1911 (type) you carry it cocked and locked (hammer back, safety on).

[ggtRiiiPpy]

for ages 2? :D LOL jk

[d00d00dumb87]

fuck im so jealous!!!!! i need to get that rite now!!!!

[snowmangsx1100]

never heard of one,,where is it made and what country,,odd but Ive never heard of that brand ..

[silver78camaro]

why wouldnt you bob the hammer? when do you carry a 1911 with the hammer down?

[shem1911]

Dumb idea bobbing the hammer. Other than dry firing the gun, how are you supposed to decock? If you're going to build a 1911 pistol than build it right.

[bretak74]

Nice video. I think you're incorrect about the front to rear length of the magazine being shorter versus a 45ACP chambered 1911. It appears to be the same length as a 45ACP. Note the plug in the rear of the magazine.

[mrwhite4]

nice looking little 1911, I can't understand that hammer I mean if you have to carry it in condition one the end up that hammer looks frigging sharp. It does make it look nice if the hammer were down but this would make so much more sense if it had a LDA trigger like some of the Para-USA carry guns.

[blakenzy]

What's the point of a bobbed hammer? Even more elusive is the answer to why use a big hooking, protruding beavertail when there is no spur to bite your hand's web?

[NerdHerderer]

Kimber mags are junk! And for $1200 I'd expect at least two quality magazines and a metal mainspring housing. Also, If my information is correct, the "II" is meant to signify that is has a light firing pin and heavy spring so that if the pistol were to be dropped inline with the firing pin, the pins inertia wouldn't cause a negligent discharge. Still, nothing says "Go Away" like the business end of a .45.

[SayokoHatsuya]

@NerdHerderer What you describe for the Kimber "II" series is actually the Springfield Armory way of doing things.

Kimber "II" series denotes a Swartz-style firing pin block that is linked to the grip safety.

[Letsmakeasamich]

Wow bobbed hammer why the hell would they do that?

[GunWebsites]

@Letsmakeasamich

Looks? I can't understand it either

[Letsmakeasamich]

Definitely looks strange.

[Anonymous1226]

@Letsmakeasamich I feel the same way about skeletonized triggers, skeletonized hammers & beavertails.

[drivepro]

well its a neat novelity....looks expensive.

[hardyboi149]

Pretty crafty.....and a nice small design.

[smttysmth02gt]

Nice gun. Unfortunately too expensive. How many rounds do the mags hold?

[GunWebsites]

@smttysmth02gt

I don't know.. someone will though

[360steven]

good video keep up the good work

[Dietzeeeee]

Can't say I am a fan of that style of hammer but other than that I like it.

[biguy525]

I think I would rather have the 9mm Para light double action.

[DasBulk]

Don't see the point of the bobbed hammer.

It also looks like hammered shit that way.

[militarysims]

Lets see and the price tag on this is just under 2k right?

[GunWebsites]

@militarysims

I don't remember, but yea, these aren't cheap

[kai199191]

what's the purpose of a bobbed hammer on a SA gun? I think it kinda pointless.

[GunWebsites]

@kai199191

I can't justify it.. I don't understand it either

[1cme1]

@kai199191 i was thinking the same thing. it looks like with the hammer back it actually makes it more likely to snag on something that a normal skeletonized hammer.

[carlb86]

@kai199191 They probably wanted a certain look to the pistol when the hammer was down. It won't be an issue since you should be racking the slide to put the hammer back anyway. Kinda silly to carry a 1911 with the hammer down and a round in.

[CrackerAssHillbilly]

thats pretty nice. kinda giving me a chubby. i might look into 1 of those to replace my G26

[jtmoney606]

im not much on that kimber i got the tactical pro in 45acp has the mepro night sights and extended mag release and slide stop i think the pro size kimbers are the best cause you can still conceal them and there not real small or big kinda in between i love mine
