I attended the 2013 SHOT Show and the Kimber rep didn’t know when these things would ship (it’s only been over a year now).

A couple of weeks ago I asked Turnbull Restorations (via Facebook) if they knew what the hold up was and they said Kimber hasn’t even sent them the parts for the finish to be applied.

I smell vaporware.

I apologize for posting twice. When I hit submit the web site didn’t offer any confirmation that my message had been sent so I thought perhaps I hit cancel or something by mistake. After a couple of days I tried again and then realized that there just isn’t a confirmation that a post has been submitted.

Hi Corey,

It’s now just a few weeks until the 2013 SHOT show and I’ve still yet to see a Classic Carry Pro on a dealer’s shelf or online auction sites. Heck, I haven’t heard of anyone owning one of these things or anyone even having gotten to do a full hands-on review.

Have you heard any updated info regarding the availability of these things? Attempts to contact Kimber have been unsuccessful and their web site lists the gun as if you can go right out and pick one up (“the most elegant Kimber pistol offered today”…must’ve been written from the future) . I’ve had a small pile of cash here that I was going to throw at them for a Classic Carry Pro but after a year of waiting I am getting close to going with another brand and throwing some similar grips on it.

Corey,

Here we are with the 2013 SHOT show approaching in a few weeks and I’ve yet to see one of these beauties at a dealer or even hear of someone owning one. Have you heard any more about the Kimber Classic Carry Pro? I’ve tried to contact Kimber about these but have been unsuccessful.

Corey, why would you ever doubt that I read every word you write? Now, about that $1,940 lunch entry on your SHOT Show expense report …

That’s one beautiful 1911. The bone grips are a very nice touch and fit very well into the overall theme of this gun. The BIG question is: When will Kimber get these models into the dealer pupeline?
