Popped the cherry on the new Kimber UCII. I ran about 200 rds through it on the first day. Was getting groups similar to buckshot out of the shotgun, LOL.
Was all over the place. I just couldn't get my grip set, constantly adjusting and had to aim right. At first just thought that maybe its just a handful compared to my SA loaded.
This was at various distances, between 10-15yds, right handed standing. S&B 230gr.
So I decided to shoot the Springer. No problems but I did notice that my hand felt better in the SA. My finger rested on the trigger better.
So I started switching back and forth, and noticed that the Grip safety was a little fatter on the Kimber. I was able to get my hand more forward on the SA and get my finger pad on the trigger better.
I went on Kimbers site and looked at their parts and saw there tactical bump grip safety. Ordered it and set them side by side when it came in. The tactical bump has and larger relief, maybe for gloves?
I installed it, needed small amount of fitting, and went back to the range.
Grouped much better, felt nice and I was able to relax, sort-off. Same yardage and ammo. I still got a lot of work to do. Awesome shooter, no issues yet and has been flawless at about 400 rds.
Not a hand full as I thought it may of been, just need to work on my trigger finger now.
On a side note, something I also noticed at the range more so than here shooting at home. I usually shoot plate targets, or bottles and cans here at home. Usually scattered around and move from target to target, and I feel more relaxed in doing so. At the range I found myself spending to much time on aiming and not relaxing. My question to some of you more experienced shooters, is that odd? Why do I feel more comfortable panning for targets rather than aiming at one target for bullseye? Weird.
Thanks, Cheers
