I would send Pete Single an email to see what he thinks. https://petesingle.com/

Congrats on the new Kimber, I still have a couple Clacky's in the safe.

I was just busting his chops.

Both were a dog compared to the 226.

Why do you struggle with spelling so much.

I don't really like the idea of having to use a different guide rod but I'm sure they work well. Sig used a flat spring on a couple of their classic P series and they worked well, 239 and one other if I remember right.

I'm not sure if anyone asked but have you checked the extractor tension.

Just to be fair Kimber has always a bunch of incompetent fools running their service department and it's one of the reasons why they have so many haters.

Total hogwash in my experience.

If the first one didn't work why would you foolishly buy several more.

Makes much more sense now, when you said the serial number was KGL46XX the L is actually a one. This puts it around late 97 or early 98 production. I think you did very well for what you paid, sure shoots nice.

Maybe it is just worn and he's telling the truth but neither the prefix nor the serial number itself you provided look right to me. Hopefully I am wrong, you will know soon enough when you go to pick it up.

I would take it back and try to get your money back or at least store credit. If he had it advertised and obviously priced as a Kimber, whether he knew it or not, he was misrepresenting what it actually was. Even if it's a great shooter it's not worth much more than $400 in my opinion.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm pretty sure that is not a Kimber frame. The slide and trigger are from a late 90's Kimber but the frame would either say Made in Clackamas or Made in Yonkers if it were truly a Kimber. I have two of the Clackamas pistols and they are built very well...
