Frequently Asked Questions
Kimber TLE II for sale
What does tle stand for in Kimber?
TLE stands for Tactical Law Enforcement. Kimber developed this line to meet LAPD SWAT specifications, featuring upgrades such as front strap checkering and night sights. The designation identifies pistols built for duty carry and tactical use.
Is it bad to dry fire a Kimber 1911?
Kimber states dry firing their centerfire 1911s is safe. Repeatedly easing the hammer down by hand risks sear damage, but standard dry firing causes no issues for most owners. Snap caps can reduce firing pin stress if you dry fire frequently.
Is the Kimber stainless II a good gun?
Kimber Stainless II pistols are well-regarded for accuracy and build quality in .45 ACP. They include beavertail grip and thumb safeties. Some owners note a break-in period requiring extra lubrication. The model remains in current production and is a popular choice for self-defense and precision shooting.
What is the price range for a Kimber stainless II?
Kimber Stainless II pistols average $1,218.89 new and $695.52 used. The 12-month averages are $1,316.79 new and $709.35 used. Current retail listings range from approximately $799.99 to $1,239.00. Most listings fall between $893 and $1,500 across 18 retailers on our marketplace.
What is the break in period for Kimber?
Kimber recommends a 500-round break-in period using quality 230-grain or heavier full metal jacket ammunition. Clean the pistol before first firing. Their tight tolerances require this initial period, and many owners report feeding issues resolve after running the recommended rounds through the gun.
Do 1911 grips fit all 1911 models?
No. 1911 grips fit only their corresponding frame size. Full-size grips won't fit Officer or Commander models. Magwells, ambidextrous safeties, and extended controls can also affect fit. Always verify your pistol's frame size before purchasing grips.
What is the best ammo for a 1911?
For a 1911, factory-loaded 230-grain full metal jacket ammunition works best, especially during break-in. This hardball ammo matches what the pistol was designed for and helps identify reliability issues with the gun itself. Once function is confirmed, you can experiment with other loads.
