Kimber

[Annihilator]

Finally got to take out the Kimber Micro 9 I got on a tip board, disappointed in it, empty mag inserts fine, loaded mag won’t 50% of time, fed any ammo I threw at it when I could get magazine inserted….should have taken the money…..lol
Best target at 15 yards using Browning 9mm FMC

Not bad shooting, try loading a round down for a short while til the spring loosens up. Thst has always worked for me in the past. P365XL had to do it for a while.

Pretty good to me at 15 yards, would have been a dead bad guy a few times over.

It wasn’t that, the mag would just hit the slide release when gun was locked open, was thinking maybe the ammo length was just a tad to long?? Empty mag, no issues with gun in battery or locked open…,.

That’s weird.

That’s weird.

Or it was sticking at the mag release maybe the mag release spring is to stiff But other then that, no other issues

 

[Annihilator]

Further investigation, it was the mag release, after looking for almost an hour to find the right screwdriver tip, when I took the release out, it was real gritty, cleaned it out, lubed it, and now it seems fine, put a small dab of lithium grease in the release channel, mags go in fine now…..

@Annihilator A Kimber? Won’t your walk-in closet full of Glocks get jealous?
Nice shooting. I was going to ask if it happened with all mags, it seems you got it straightened out.

That chootin" not to shabby for a dadgum young whippersnapper. All things considered that is.
