I recently picked up a new Kimber Pro (4") Crimson Carry. I'm amazed at the accuracy, but reliability is a problem. At the moment I'm chalking it up to the break-in period. I shot 100 rounds through it the first day out and experienced a couple of feeding problems.
A handful of times it pushed the round into the top of the chamber rather than into the chamber, which was usually fixed by pulling the slide to the rear and releasing.
On several rounds from each mag, however, the slide didn't make it all the way forward. A light tap to the rear of the slide sent it into battery and allowed me to fire.
Thus, I'm here to pick some brains. I've owned a couple of other 1911s, but never had this problem. Does this sound like a typical occurrence before the break-in? Aside from that, my first thought was of a stiffer recoil spring; reasonable assumption?
Suggestions are very welcome.
