In the past two weeks, i have had both my Kimber Warrior and Kimber Eclipse go into burst fire while at the range. I've owned both these pistols for a year and have been great.
Kimber Warrior
-------------------
Dropped in a new Kimber aluminum trigger and shot 300+ rounds fine, then it started going into burst fire my 3rd trip to the range. Gave it to the gun smith and he noticed that the edge of the sear was chewed up. He blamed it on a bad part. This is working fine now.
Kimber Eclipse
-------------------
Just yesterday put in a Wilson tungsten guide rod (love it!) and took it to the range. About 40 rounds into it... burst fire. Im going to order a new sear and all new bullet proof wilson parts me thinks.
I suppose I am posting this to see perhaps if these malfunctions and damage could have been done by me. Could I be doing damage by holding the trigger too hard after firing? Im left scratching my head because both these pistols work great and within two weeks they started to go into burst fire. I know there is a lot that can be said about Irish fury, but this is ridiculous.
Perhaps if anyone can suggest other parts to replace while i am at it-- I was thinking at least the sear and slidestop
