My p238 definitely will not allow the trigger to drop the hammer from half-cock with the thumb safety engaged, and will not allow the hammer to be fully cocked either.
Is this different from the situation you were discussing @ApacheCoTodd ?
I believe from my short experience that it may well be the mags. Another interesting issue mag-related is if I fully load my magazine, cycle a round to the chamber and top off the magazine again - if I remove the magazine with this loading, often times the top round in the magazine will be loose in the magwell when I drop the magazine.WoW! It almost sounds like a mag issue. From what I understand Kimber's are built to very exacting tolerances... I'm not sure the mags are held to that standard.
Upon further review, when mine is in half-cock, the trigger will not move and the hammer will not drop whether the safety is engaged or not. Only option at this point is to remove safety and pull hammer to fully cocked.At this point, the hammer will not travel fully rearward and the slide is locked as well until the safety is released
I've heard that too. I'm going to mark myself fortunate, as I'm not experiencing any of these problem s with the multiple Kimber's I've purchased. I did buy extra Kimber mags for each gun. I'm running full mags +1 without any problems. I bought one for my daughter, I'll have to ask her if she's experiencing any problems. The other 9 and the .380 are my wife's. I know those are running fine. Mines a Rapide...it has an added mag well so it uses proprietary mags with a different bottom plate. Of course those mags command more money...but that's marketing. Mine runs both mags full +1 with no hiccups. The one thing I do before putting a new gun in service is cycle the slide a couple hundred times to mesh the parts together and on mine I also polished the feed ramp. Don't know if that made a difference but it runs like a Swiss watch.I believe from my short experience that it may well be the mags. Another interesting issue mag-related is if I fully load my magazine, cycle a round to the chamber and top off the magazine again - if I remove the magazine with this loading, often times the top round in the magazine will be loose in the magwell when I drop the magazine.
Rather odd & disconcerting.
This does not happen, however, if I don't top the magazine off after chambering a round.

Nice to hear. They hold up their rigidity fairly well then?I have a number of Ryans holsters, never a disappointment.

Nice set of Colts! The ivory sets off that deep blue perfectly .George Dickel
Looks great! I recently did that with two of my Colts as well! There's just something about ivory grips (or faux ivory grips for that matter), on a blued 1911 (or a Mini 1911)!

Ryans holsters are flawlessly constructed to your specs and they hold their shape exceptionally well.. You can order without reinforced opening or with to allow easy re-holster. I'm partial to his inside the waistband reinforced Town & Country" holsters as they are very comfortable. I have one for my officers 1911, Micro 9, Sig 238 and 938 and one outside the waistband for a govt 1911. Yes, they are a little pricey and yes it takes some time from order to receipt but the quality and craftsmanship make the wait and cost worth it.Nice to hear.

I like the look and am growing to appreciate how this style spreads the load more than my favored single-clip.

Do you have a link for them other than the farcebook?
