I spoke with Kimber again yesterday and told them the whole story. They said send it back (warranty), so I'll probably send it off next week... after a few more test rounds, that is.

I'll assume both are of similar general quality, accuracy and design. In 45 ACP trim, which should provide the greatest number of rounds with the fewest FTF/FTE's over time and generally the least gunsmith massaging? Reasons? BTW, Gun is to be used as a CC weapon and at an indoor range...

I'd like to know as well....

No, everything you see there is factory Kimber...

RogersPrecision, see anything obviously wrong/correctable in my post?

If I understand what you're saying, the pictures above are misleading in the way I had the pistol configured (no recoil assembly). Here's a pic with the gun fully assembled, slide locked back, barrel pushed back and 250 additional rounds through the gun - about 1,000 rounds total now since new...

Does the "wear" in the red and green circles look excessive for fewer than 1,000 rounds?

If you are referring to the dings circled in blue below, I clearly stated that they were present when I bought the gun new (unused) from my Kimber dealer. I pointed them out to the (well established) store owner and he said such marks were common from the factory since they fire test rounds...

The pics above seem to support your theory, but I'm using a stock recoil spring (22 lbs for a 45 Pro) and a new Wilson mag now. Is there a better mag? Do I need a stiffer Wolff mag spring? EDIT: Wilson literature says frame ramp should be at least 0.350" deep from the top of the frame...

Pics may help. I pulled the recoil spring and used some dry-fires to best simulate what the FTF's look like. Ramp after about 800 rounds total - probably 10 - 15% FTF's. Ramp marked: - Blue were present at purchase new. - Red appear to be where ball hangs on vast majority of FTF's...

I'm wondering if the Wolff spring is the same as the 24 lb spring I already tried. Couldn't find a spring rate on the Wolff...

I did use the OEM Kimber 22 lb recoil spring for the first 600 or so rounds and experienced on-going FTF's with the bullet jammed against the feed ramp. A shooting range employee recommended a 24 lb spring to reduce the FTF events, but that only made matters much worse. I'm now back to the...

Hi to all. New around here, novice with semi-auto handguns. Bought a Kimber .45 CDP Pro II new in Sept 2008. I clean/lube the gun "by the Kimber manual" every 150 rounds or so. Using 230 gr FMJ American Eagle and Blazer rounds (not +P) at the firing range, we had about 10% randomly timed...
