You should start training at 21 feet to 30ft.

Thanks I like the pistol so much I'm getting rid of my last 40S&W.

I do train at all distances with my pistols. I shoot pistol matches and also regularly shoot target style from up close to 25 yards. I'm just getting into 3 gun and that's exciting.

Thanks for the advice.

I have 3 Kimbers, they all run exceptionally well. Sig must have sold thier motto "Most accurate .45 out of the box" to Kimber, because it's true. Point of Aim is dead on, easy to keep offhand rounds within 2". And that's even true for the small 3" Ultra Carry model. Definitely worth the high price tag.

Well, I wouldn't say that my Kimbers were the MOST accurate out-of-box .45 that I have shot, but I have never, ever been disappointed by any fixed sight Kimber. I've owned 3 of them and they've all been exceptional as far as accuracy goes. Yes, even the Ultras.
