Kimber Eclipse Custom II threaded barrel

[Huey130]

What's the best way to go about getting one.

My issues:
Should I even to this one or get a different frame? One already built with the barrel?
So many barrel manufacturers: any better than the others? Less work than the others? No work?
Is there someone local that I can drop it off and then pick it up ready to bang bang?... I mean clink clink. Hahahah

And trust me: I searched! Hahahaha

HUEY!!

I'm looking to just getting a Kimber TFS. I'm a fan of Kimber but if you aren't you might have to go the different route of getting a threaded barrel and having it fitted. Dobbs Defense can do the threaded, not sure how they are with smithing on a 1911 though.

Check out Jarvis Inc, they carry some barrels that drop in

I called and asked Kimber about buying a Custom TFS barrell.. They said "Not only no...." Hahahaha

Thats right, you already have an Eclipse right?

Yeah, Kimber doesn't do aftermarket threaded barrels. It's either part of a factory gun, or 3rd party aftermarket.

I have a Stprm Lake Custom that I fit into one of my 1911's - no complaints. Good barrel and superb accuracy. Fort Daniel has hired a 1911 guy or two in there and are getting into 1911's. They should be able to fit it and thread it if not getting one already threaded. Give Nate a call. It is a bit of a haul for you, but you can ship it if you so choose.

@cpwong180 should be able to help. He is now at FD, if I'm not mistaken.

I had the same issue and just got an AAC R1 enhanced and it shoots like a champ. I've got 4 other 1911's that would like a TB if someone finds out the secret and it doesn't cost a fortune.

I'm pretty sure it all costs a fortune
