Beat me to it Caleb!
I was probably close to time to replace the recoil slide spring looking back at it now. I sometimes question if I made the right decision, but it just really freaked me out at the time.Change the recoil slide spring? I would every thousand rounds to keep in tip top shape
I was probably between 1000-1500 rounds through the pistol. I did try different mags as well. I had the issues with the Wilson mags as well as the Kimber mags that came with the pistol. I have questioned my decision after the fact. I traded it right after my range trip. It was a beautiful gun. I just wasnt convinced i could trust it anymore. It was the Stainless Ultra Carry II with night sights and I had a Crimson Trace lasergrip on it as well. I think I got about $750 trade for it. I had a lot more than that invested in it. One day I may buy another one.It's a moot point now that you don't have the gun anymore, but Kimber recommends replacement of the recoil springs every 1800 rounds. Were you close to that round count? Did you happen to try different mags before condemning the gun? Not saying you were wrong for trading it, just curious since I have a couple of Ultra Carrys.
Just curious, where do you guys find the best pricing on Kimbers? The ones I've seen all were above $1000.
