Our Assessment: The Kimber Custom Shop Super Carry Ultra is a compact .45 ACP semi-auto pistol with a 3-inch barrel and lightweight frame. The entire pistol has received a carry melt to remove all of the sharp or squared-off edges. The flat-top slide is constructed of stainless steel and coated with a KimPro II matte-black finish, which is self-lubricating and resistant to water and salt. The usual straight-cut slide serrations at the back of the slide have been replaced with the Super Carry scallop cuts, which have also been milled in along the top of the slide. The metallic, three-dot Tritium night sights provide a 4.88-inch sight radius and feature a cocking ledge on the rear sight to assist in one-handed reloads.If you like the idea of carrying a trim, lightweight 1911 for personal protection, you are not alone. One thing I’ve found to be common among my friends and associates who choose to pack compact 1911s is their loyalty to their pistols. The features and finish of the Kimber Custom Shop Super Carry Ultra cost a bit more up front, but there’s no need to “fix” it after it’s been purchased. It is a pay once, carry it for years to come, kind of pistol.
