So, I suppose it was bound to happen. I Had my first two malfunctions on my Kimber Custom II today. I was shooting, and the pistol locked to a slide lock position with the last round still in the chamber. The odd thing was that the back of the round was about 1/2" BEHIND the rear end of the magazine (which was a Wilson 47D I purchased about a year ago). The round was sitting loose enough that I could have turned the gun upside-down and shook it loose if I had wanted to. Another odd thing was that the plastic baseplate on the bottom of magazine was not in the correct place on the first malfunction, instead, it was slid about halfway forward. The ammunition was Blazer 230 gr. FMJ, and it was extremely hot today, at least 95 degrees. I wish I had taken pictures, but I didn't bring my camera to the range. A friend of mine told me it could be weak mag springs, and I do have to say that I tend to store my magazine loaded, if that helps. Any other info I can provide I will be happy to give if it helps get my pistol working again.
