Posted on behalf of a buddy of mine who bought a Kimber Ultra Compact II about two months ago. He's put 600 rounds through it with a helluva lot of problems. I'ts failing to feed every couple of shots.
He noticed that if he slowly cycles the gun with the thumb saftey depressed, he can stop the slide's forward movement about a quarter inch before it goes into battery. He just got it back from Kimber, but it has the same problems when he hand cycles it, it looks like they haven't done anythign with it.
It sounds like the Kimber firing pin safety isn't fitted properly from what I've been reading online, but how can he go about fixing it since kimber apparantly won't? Can he just polish part of the gun, or should he send it back to Kimber again? He's put well past what they recommend through the gun in every brand he can put his hands on and has the same problems with everything.
Thanks a lot
