I recently bought a custom classic and decided to test the trigger pull. Its a whopping 8.25 lbs!! As a comparrison I tested the pull on our rental guns in the shop and they were both a nice 3.5 lbs. The other "new" kimbers also tested out at 8 lbs. Is this difference due to the wear and tear that the rentals have seen and can I expect mine to lighten up over time? Or do I need to schedule an appointment with a smith once I've broken in the pistol?

Check the box and the manuals. I think you might have got a Kimber with the New York trigger! :roll: Mike

I bought a new Classic Stainless last week and the trigger pull was five and a half pounds with a little creep. I was also having a some feed problems. I'm having a local smith polish the chamber, breech face, chamfer the firing pin hole and do a trigger job.

kimbers come with 4-5 lbs trigger pull on carry guns and those with fixed sights.
gold mataches and guns with adjustable sights should be in the 3.5 to 4.0 lb range.normally these weights do not change with use - and 8.5 lbs is way outside the norm. call customer service for advise.

My custom classic came straight out of the box with a 3.6 lb. trigger pull.

Hello everyone.

Will, I'm not sure of the pull weight on either, but the trigger on my Kimber Compact feels significantly lighter than that of my Classic.

Checked the trigger pull on my Eclipse after 400 rounds. It's right at 3 pounds.

Took everything apart and noticed that the leaf spring was not seated properly. Carefully put everything back together and tested the pull. Nice crisp 4.25 lbs. 1mm of movement and your Kimber becomes a Ruger. Eep.
