I was at a local IDPA match today when a friend's MIM thumb safety broke on his Kimber Target.
It was his turn to shoot so he went up to the line, loaded his gun and said he was ready. The buzzer sounded, he drew his gun, snicked off his thumb safety and it fell at his feet.
I examined the part after it happened and the safety broke clean off right where the post connects to the safety body. It left the post and a tiny portion of the safety body still in the gun. Upon inspecting the part more closely, the MIM looked pretty porous at the crack.
He is going to contact Kimber and see what they have to say about it. He finished the match using my Baer PremierII. Needless to say, no failures from that point forward :smile:
