[QUOTE="rla442, post: 813627, member: 13688"] Kimbers are no different than any other 1911. What I see the most with someone that has a 1911 that fails to feed is the magazine. The 1911 has two style magazines. One is designed for a 230gr round nose bullet and the other is designed for semi wadcutter/target type of bullet. If trying to shoot a 230gr bullet in a magazine designed for a wadcutter bullet, the bullet usually hits the feed ramp before coming out of the magazine and sliding up under the extractor. Those that spent the extra money on a Kimber Match 1911 have the wadcutter style magazine that is designed for match ammunition. Look at the lips on top of the magazine where the ammo feeds out of. If they are a slow taper, thats a 230gr magazine designed for ball ammunition. If the lips are stepped that is a mazazine designed for target ammo (usually a shorter bullet). Another problem is the shooters form. 1911's are a harder gun to shoot than most. Watch when someone is shooting and watch for their wrist to break when the gun recoils. 1911's wont function reliable when shooting with a bent elbow or breaking your wrist when the gun goes off. Now that doesn't mean there aren't some pieces of junk 1911's out there. I've seen a few, mostly from foreign companies. [/QUOTE]
