I cleaned my Kimber Compact Series I and Ultra CDP Series II tonight and followed by cyclling several full mags of live rounds through each. Both guns are officer-sized 1911's. The mags were three eight-round govt and one seven-round officer - all Wilsons. The CDP cycled each mag to slidelock, but the Compact would get a FTE on the sixth round of each govt mag and the fourth round of the officer mag. This was consistent, every time like clockwork.
So, my question is. does this mean I need to tune the extractor on the Compact? If not, what would cause that sort of jam? I assume it has something to do with the spring tension in the mags, but I can't figure out what exactly.
Thanks.
