Kimber Schwartz Safety
Here’s the problem; I was getting light primer strikes ( I reload and I was testing some dogfood rounds long story). I’d get a faint primer strike but not enough to detonate the primer. So I’m thinking bad mainspring or perhaps crudded up firing pin or maybe broken firing pin. Nope the “tab” on the slide for the Schwartz safety is no longer there just a hole where it used to be.
I can email the pic but I’m in the middle of a DNS propagation with my hosting server.
Now what is the best solution to this problem? Series 70 firing pin? Pay to have a gunsmith remove the rest of the offending parts? Or call Kimber? Cheaper the better I like the series 70 firing pin the best as it is cheapest and drop in solution? I’m going to go back to carrying this gun and I’m not too concerned about the legalities of a legal shoot I’m more concerned about it not firing. Till it gets fixed I’m just as happy with my FN Hi-power SFS in 9mm.
If anybody can provide me with a vendor and part numbers that would be great.
Thanks,
Ray
