Snark aside, what is the problem?Other than "Kimber" being on the side of the gun, if they all went "bang", whats the problem?
The first revolver I bought (last year) had some issues. I found a picture of this:
Any thoughts?
Snark aside, what is the problem?
If it's out of time that far, it's shaving, and it's likely to to fracture the forcing cone very prematurely.
If the firing pin is that far off axis, it's likely to fail to fire primers that would otherwise work.
If this was a $199 Brazilian Speciola I wouldn't bother complaining, but it's a tweaky Kimber with a pompous NY attitude and a pricetag to match. . . it should be right.
hot loads smashing the primers into the back of the cylinder were the firing pin is. was it hard to open the cylinder after shooting?
No signs of overpressure or "smashing", but. . .
Either your timing is off (the cylinder is misaligned with the barrel at firing) or your firing pin is off centerline.
Maybe from the city but upstate New Yorkers are anything but pompous. Some of the most down to earth people I’ve met were Upyorkers.
