.17 1911???

I thought Kimber was producing this. But when I contacted their tech department they were unaware of it.  Anyone know for sure?  Thanks.

I worked on one a few weeks ago. It was a .17 Mach II, and wouldn't feed properly. I got it to work, but maybe Kimber has had problems with it and didn't make many? I don't know for sure.

I always wondered about the time to peak pressure with this load in a pistol.  Maybe monkeying with the type of powder would help.

That's kinda hard with a rimfire.
