Hi All:
I recently posted this on another, less active board and thought the folks here might be able to help...
I am a .45 shooter and recently bought my first Kimber (Tactical Custom). This is the first government model I have had with an external extractor. It is also the first pistol I have had with this problem...it frequently fails to go fully into battery. But when I ease back on the slide slightly, the rim of the round slips up under the extractor.
I have had the ramp throated and polished, but every time it happens, it seems it is the rim of the cartridge catching under the extractor, rather than the nose hanging up in the throat or chamber.
What is everyone else's experience with Kimber external ectarctos, and is it the extractoe I should be worried about? By the way, this happens with 3-4 brands of factory ammo, reloads of different lengths, etc... Thanks in advance for any help. I would like to keep the gun but only if it is reliable...
