Just a note, I bought a Kimber Tactical Ultra II recently. Good gun, so-so price (950.00). I took the thing out and put a box of ammo threw it. Ran like a champ, and with suprising accuracy. I was able to shoot a 2 and a half inch group at 25 yards. I didn't expect that. the gun had a lot of muzzle flip but the recoil wasn't bad at all. In other words it wasn't painful or annoying to shoot. I finished up with the FMJs and loaded a magazine of winchester JHPs. NO-GO.. would not feed the JHPs. I tried changeing the mag and tried 3 different types of ammo including Federal EFMJ, none would feed.
Dissapointed I called it a session. I went to clean the gun and upon re-assembly and function check the safty would not disengage. I'd had this happen one time before so I closed my eyes gritted my teeth took a deep breath and looked... yep... the plunger tube had seperated from the frame causing the safty lock plunger to move along the outside of the safty.. F**K!!
So, I had to send the thing back to Kimber. It's been about two weeks now, I expect it to be another 4 weeks. I have at least had a confirmation from a cranky Kimber rep. but I wasn't happy with the conversation. They sounded like it was my fault and I was to be thankful if they fixed it.
I've owned Colts, Springfields, Remington Rand, and a Para. I've never had a factory gun screw up like this (well except the Remington Rand and I can't blame the company for that, after all it did serve in at least one war and has survived 50 some years without incident.
If I'm not sh*tting glee at the performance of the gun when I get it back I seriously doubt I'll ever buy another Kimber again.
Rant off.
