[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1341062, member: 17767"] In reference to the Kimber 1911. I owned four. Sold them. One was out of their Custom Shop. I used the Kimber Custom 1911 when shooting Defensive Pistol in Montana. I was experiencing the occasional FTE and FTF. It is frustrating to be up and shooting a station and everyone watching and your gun goes down. A gentleman who taught defensive pistol, told me I have two choices, 1. Deal with the FTF and FTE and enjoy the Kimber, they are not bad. Or 2. Spend the money and get an Ed Brown, Wilson Combat or Les Baer. He used Les Baer. I sold four Kimbers and bought a Wilson Combat 1911 CQB. Knock on wood, it has never failed. I shot Defensive Pistol in Montana for years. Finally, bought a Les Baer target 1911. Knock on wood, never had a FTF or FTE I have shot thousands of rounds through the Wilson Combat. I used the same ammo in the Kimbers that cycled fine through the Wilson and Baer. I loaded on a Dillon Progressive Loader and my Ammo was excellent quality. So the Kimber issue was not the ammo's fault. Not knocking Kimber. Very nice guns. PS: I don't recall - this is 20 years ago now- but I did have a hang-up a couple times due to no powder in a round. The primer will force the bullet into the forcing cone but there is not enough energy to cycle the slide. These type issues affect everyone but are not attributable to the pistol. [/QUOTE]
