Kimber question....
Friend bought a used Kimber that will fire one round and then jam. Has tried FMJ and HP's with the same result. Switched mags and still no luck. What would be the next thing to check? I like to shoot em. But not much on working on them.

Which model.
From the info it would be this Model
As was said what type of jam.0 -
Bp Pro 10 II.
My bad guys. I did'nt get enough info. I have not shot the gun myself. He said it would eject the spent case but would not load the next. I'll try and get a more exact description.0 -
What kinda jam? Double feed where it doesn't extract the spent case and tries to push another cartridge up behind it? Stove pipe where the spent case fails to extract and is left vertical in the ejection port (looking like a stove's exhaust pipe IE stovepipe jam)? Is the spent case getting stuck out of battery failed to extract and partially left in the chamber?
Is it the one with the claw extractor kimber was putting in some of their guns for a while or does it have the traditional 1911 type extractor?0 -
its probally two bad mags! tell him to buy a brand new mag from kimber a try that! a lot of times when you leave a mag fully loaded for long periods of time it will weaken your sprigs and cause jams!(just a sugestion)[8D] 0 -
I had a few failure to feed problems with the Pro-Carry and the Ultra-Carry during the first 100 rounds or so.
I now think that it was 100% attributable to my limp-wristing the pistols. Even though there is not that much weight difference between them and a full-sized 1911, they did seem to be more sensitive to a less than rigid hold.
Zero problems now 1000+ rounds over almost 2 years, ball and Federal Hydra-shok JHP. These are two 100% reliable handguns, either of which I would depend on in any situation.0
