Just had a ex-NIB Kimber Eclipse Pro Carry II leave the shop in the happy hands of its owner.
She had trouble with the grip safety...seemed more of a problem with the ubergeeky "II" firing pin block hanging up than the grip safey disengaging. She would get the hammer to fall but the firing pin wouldn't move. She did have small hands, but was quite competent.
I had her work with a wide variety of .45's I had on hand...ranging from full-up STI raceguns to Para carry and competition models, WWII "as-issued" GI pistols, to a Wilson CQB. She had no problems with any of those.
Just that $900 Kimber.
So, I pulled the slide apart and removed the business end of that firing pin block system. Problem solved.
Anyone else? Was that a problem with one gun, or have others had problems with the firing pin block?
