1911 KIMBER ULTRA CDP II: THE SEXIEST CONCEALED CARRY 1911?
About this video
Colion reviews the Kimber Ultra CDP2, a compact 1911 chambered in .45 ACP. While he expresses general skepticism about modern commercial 1911s for carry due to reliability and capacity concerns, Colion praises this particular model’s aesthetics, ergonomics, and concealability. He argues that if he were forced to carry a 1911, the CDP2 would be his choice, though he personally prefers higher-capacity polymer pistols for everyday carry.
Key takeaways
- Colion believes modern commercial 1911s often lack out-of-the-box reliability, making him hesitant to carry them despite their classic appeal
- He praises the Kimber CDP2’s aesthetics, ergonomics, short crisp trigger, and compact carry-friendly design, calling it his top 1911 carry choice
- Colion points out that the gun’s 7+1 capacity in .45 ACP is limited compared to modern polymer pistols, which remains a significant drawback in his view
