I picked up one of these a week or so ago.

Anyway, it doesn't have a ramped barrel at all. I thought all the Ultra's had a ramped barrel? It has a nice gap/step from the chamber to frame then to the mag. It will not feed any flat nosed rounds at all. Like 185/200gr .45acp, LSWC, and some JHP.

The gun was LNIB.. ultra cdp II and has an internal extractor with non ramped barrel. I assume this is an older II series ultra cdp?

I sold a buddy of mine a Tactical Ultra II and it has a ramped barrel and external extractor.

I'm confused.

Kimbers website says "Ultra CDP II has a ramped 3-inch barrel"

And mine doesn't.

Box says its a Ultra CDP II.  Also has the extra "deal" for the firing pin safety so I know for a fact that it is a Series II.

Oh, I forgot to add.  The feedramp isn't cut for a ramped barrel either.

All the CDPs have internal extractors. My best guess is that it isn't uncommon for Kimbers to be tight and a little finicky for the first 500 rounds or so. Add the 3" bbl factor to this and the feeding issues may well work themselves out after a thorough break in period.

A strip down and close inspection for any burrs or such is of course a good idea.

I have an Ultra CDP II "Limited" Stainless with the ramped barrel. If I'm not mistaken I think it was only the "Limited" that had 'em.

It says on Kimbers website near the bottom of the CDP page that the Ultra does in fact come with a ramped barrel.

I guess mine is an older series II because the feedramp isn't cut out for a ramped barrel.
