Has anyone figured out how to stop these 3 inch Kimbers from throwing brass in their face? These are handy little 45s but they are famous for doing this.
This is a pistol with less than 100 rounds through it. I have checked and adjusted the tension on the extractor. I put an egw over sized firing pin stop in it in case the extractor was clocking. I switched extractors from my 4 in Kimber. I tried to install the extractor from my les baer p2 but it was too long and the notch would not line up for the firing pin stop. The ejector is in good shape.
I really don't want to play the send it to Kimber game. I had a Kimber ultra carry that went to kimber for the same problem serveral times before they gave up and replaced it with this new eclispe ultra that I am having the same problem with now.
I am an experienced shooter using a solid two handed grip. About once ever mag through the gun I get nailed in the face. I understand that the fast cycling rate makes these 45s very difficult to adjust correctly sometimes.
I am going to order a replacement extractor that I can file on and not void my warranty.
If anyone has some experience dealing with this issue on this model gun I would appreciate hearing from you.
Good luck,
Johnds
