Has anybody had any problems with their Kimber Ultra CDP II 1911? I bought one two months ago and it initially had some feeding problems. I sent it back to Kimber and they polished the ramp. When I got it back, I fired 100 rounds of PMC 230gr. FMJ and 25 rounds of Remington 230gr. JHP through it with no problems. I am using Wilson magazines (47,OXC). The feeding problem appears to be fixed but, when I went to the range today and fired 150 rounds of the same PMC ammo, it failed to extract 5 cases from the chamber! This Kimber has the new external extractor. I have about 700+ rounds through the gun and am not sure what to do. At a price of $1000.00 (including tax), it should operate flawlessly. Or am I asking too much?! The appearance of the gun is awesome, but if it doesn't work reliably, then it isn't worth squat! I knew that Kimber had some quality issues a few years back, but I thought that issue was worked out? Do I send it back AGAIN, or do I find a competent local pistolsmith to fix it?
