Are there good mags available other than the ones offered by Kimber? I have a Ultra CDP II 9mm and would like something like an extended mag to extend that grip a little bit. Thanks.
Not 100% sure but I think Wilson makes a 9mm for that. That's like a 7 rd mag in .45 and the regular mags fit my ultra but stick out as far as I want them to.
I have a Colt Defender in 9mm which is the same size gun as the Kimber Ultra and I run Mecgar full size 1911 9mm magazines in it at the range and as spares if I use the gun for EDC. I run Wilson Combat in my .45 caliber guns and they also make 9mm mags. I have been hearing that the Wilson Combat magazines are not what they used to be but I have had no problems with mine. I am sure others will chime in soon so hang in there.
The only thing I know of that accomplishes an increase in grip real estate is the X-Grip for 1911s: XGRIP : Sub-Compact Handgun Magazine Adapters : Product List. If you go this route, than I second what others have said regarding Wilson Combat and Tripp mags.
