Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Anybody have a Kimber 10mm?

If so how do you like it?

Yes, an Eclipse Custom II, it's a'right. No complaints, but I barely shoot it compared to my other 1911 10MMs.

A friend has one, really nice, been thinking about getting one.

The Custom II is the one that caught my eye

I had a Camp Guard that had feeding issues

I have the Match Target Model in 10mm. I’ve had it for at least 15 years now. Very Accurate and it’s never failed to feed any round. And I mostly shoot handloads in it. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

It is a good lookin' 1911. And honestly, I've beat the hell outta this one taking it back and forth in a range bag, clankin' around with god knows what other handguns for years. Never had a misfeed, nor failure to fire, always shot when I pulled the trigger.

I have a Camp Guard I bought on here a few years ago. Must not have been from pacecars - mine feeds everything. It especially likes Mackay's 200gr cast loads.

Yeah I like that

I really wanted to like it. It looked good and felt good and loved the bobtail but just couldn’t get more than a couple shots with several different mags. Probably could have been a simple fix but I am impatient sometimes

Target II. Very accurate. Zero issues. Took a whitetail with it a few years ago. Carried it and dog loop last night. One of my favorites

Got the Camp Guard about 3 weeks ago and it is still unfired. I am slowly breaking it in by cycling dummy rounds through it. Right now it will only feed a magazine of dummy rounds out of a Wilson Combat 9 round mag. I am going to range in couple days and see how it does.

You Tube is full of vids with the Camp Guard having feeding issues. I will sort it out. I have a Dan Wesson Bruin that is every bit as tight as this Kimber Camp Guard and it feeds with three different magazines and four different rounds.


A purdy pistol that is very easy to carry and feels great in my hand.

My experience with two Kimber custom 11 is, one needed extractor tension adjustment and then ran perfectly. The other was adjusted as the extractor had negative “tension”. Extractor relaxed back to negative tension in a few rounds. Replaced it with a Wilson, it runs perfectly.

I have a camp guard and have about 200 rounds through it. Not had one problem feeding or any other problems. Works perfect and I like it a lot. Dont shoot it much anymore and actually considered selling it but I hate that thought

I wish I would have bout the Camp Guard that I handled at Cabela's but it was gone when I came back. I've had good success with my Custom Classic .45 for 25 year and figured it should be no different.

I have a Kimber Eclipse, sent the slide back to the factory & had adjustable sights added & I really like it with a 200 gr powder coated cast bullet using Longshot powder. When I'm in the back country packing it with 2 spare mags I feel pretty secure.

Mine is a SS target II. But I also have a 22 conversion top for it and a 38 Super barrel. So it only gets fed 10 mm once in a while.

It has run flawlessly in 10 mm mode.

Had one of the early Delta Elite's back in the late 1980's. Love the 10mm back then
