Kimber Aegis Ultra 9mm

[MajO]

Congratulations on your choice. I am not sure what the difference is between the Kimber Aegis and the Kimber Mini 9 that I have; but I had some problems with it initially.



I had the same issue with the Mini 9 that I had with a Sig 380. Both had FTE 's and wouldn't consistently go into battery. Both were sent back to the respective factories and essentially rebuilt. My son has the Sig and I have the Mini 9; which functions pretty well now. It does conceal well and, although roughly the same size as a Walther PPK, it provides 9 mm protection. Anyway, best of luck with your pistol.

The Aegis is more or less the aesthetics/slide design. Aegis means Shield in Greek. Anyhoo I’m not sure what a mini 9 is, I know of the Micro line if that’s what you mean. The Aegis series are true 1911s, whereas the Micro is a micro mock-up, but is not a true 1911. I have the Aegis Ultra, Ultras being the 3” barreled Kimber 1911s.

I do like that little fella. Very cool. Does have an internal or external extractor?

Nice choice, good looking gun.
Several years ago, I picked up a P938 for a summertime carry gun, it has worked well but not my favorite to shoot without the extended mag for pinky support. Looks like maybe I should look at some of the newer options available today.

BTW the extractor is an internal not external as you can't see it on the outside of the slide port, couple that with the circle on the right hand side at the back of the slide... standard 1911 internal Browning extractor. Works fine lasts a long time.

It fits in the hand perfect and so does the pinky. Yea I don’t know why I typed external. I’ve been misspeaking (mistyping) a lot lately lol.

So how does the muzzle flip feel? It's one of the issues I have with the stubbies. Without a lot of practice round 2 is always up 3-5 inches up in a double or triple tap exercise. In the 45 realm it's why they all use a big fat bushing less bull barrel in an effort to control it. To me it throws off the gun balance.
