Well my Kimber has had the occasional failure to eject but that is really an extractor adjustment problem. I need to get it fixed and will soon.
I know something else that is great about Kimber: I sent an email to them yesterday evening (Sunday) requesting info regarding the repair/replacement policy for Aluminum frames and ware on feed-ramps, frame cracks, rail ware, etc. Got a phone call from Kimber Monday AM. They will gladly handle any ware or problem for the life of the pistol. Feed ramp ware from hollow-points? YES! Only restriction I am aware of is that you can only use factory ammo, no reloads, which is not a problem for me.
Now I have to make up my mind, which new light Kimber will be soon riding with me. Man I hate having to make decisions like that! :wink:
For a light weight pistol, I am thinking about the Compact CDP. I know, I know, it's an aluminum frame!
But, remember most pistols never have more than 10,000 to 20,000 rounds put thru them. I believe Kimber says they have put 20K rounds thru a CDP with no cracks.
And, in this day and age, if you put 150-200 rounds thru a pistol per month, you are shooting a fair amount.
i've been shooting that much per week w/ my aluminum frame pro carry since i got it in april. it eats lead, FMJ, JHP, whatever, w/ out a hiccup. i'm not an expert, but i cant see any appreciable wear yet. the only time i've ever had any compliants was trying to shoot a case of wolf ammo, and i'm blaming that on the ammo, not the gun.
