I couldn't help noticing in your disassembly picture that you used the wire like takedown tool provided with the gun for disassembly. In case you weren't aware I thought that I would mention this guy's Ultra tool - http://www.1911ultratool.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
His device perfectly alines the the slide stop with the disassembly notch making field stripping a breeze, something that the Kimber tool doesn't do. I have a Kimber Ultra CDP and can testify that the thing really works. FYI - I have no connection with the guy who makes these.
Thanks for the link - I watched the video and am definitly going to order one of these tools. That little hex key that came with the gun is a real pain.

I have the same weapon. Got it in December last year, and has been 100% reliable. I have about 1000 rounds through it, and have had no failures at all! I am going to send my slide to Kimber for night sights soon. The laser is cool, but I do not like the black sights on them. I cant see them in low light conditions.
I agree with the sights - I am going to have mine changed out also. Too hard for me to align in low light.
I ordered the tool to looks like a great design huh?

Oh, oh...there is a thread on that very subject that you might want to peruse. Just saying.
Do you have a link to the thread? Probably to late as i just ordered a Super Tuck for it and i also ordered a Snap slide from Crossbreed for my Glock 33 (.357 sig) i might carry it sometimes too.
That thing is a flame thrower....
This is why I hate forums. There is always someone flashing a nice shiny new toy that I want! If its not a Kimber, its a new BlackBerry or a Nice vintage Mercedes-Benz. I want too many things. By the way that has to be the finest looking pistola around! Congrats

No, I am too lazy to search. But the general consensus that I got from it is that it is a Bozo-No-No.

Do you mean No No on the small of the back...if so i did ask Crossbreed about that and he said none of there holsters are designed for Mid of back carry.
I actually played around with it and i think with the right tilt i can Appendage carry about 2 oclock.I carry my cell pone holster on my belt there also so the buldge from that will help camoflauge the gun. Will see.
Sorry for being imprecise. Yes, I meant carry in the middle of the back. There was a HUGE discussion on the issue as I recall it. I tend to agree that it is perhaps not the best method.

Very nice gun.
Never mind the black hole that the big bullet comes out of. BEWARE of the laser!
That's a nice gun and it is on my list; maybe next year when I get a tax refund or when I win the lottery. Looks like it would fit my little hand well and I don't have a 45 yet. Trying to talk my hubs into me spending that much on another hand gun will be the problem. This is a reverse scenario I think. Any way, I am extremely envious.

From what I've heard, a fall while carrying middle of the back can result in spinal injury. That's enough of a reason for me.

These look like great holsters but the wait time is pretty darn long. From their web site:
