Kimber SS Classic with a two piece guide rod.
At the range today the thing locked up. Slide is locked out of battery. Guide rod appears to have lengthened past the bushing.
Slide will not push into battery.
Slide will not retract.
Thumb safety will not engage because slide is slightly to the rear.
Gun will not fire.
I managed to screw the guide rod in a short way but not far enough to put the gun into battery.
Now what? Do I need to head off to a smithy his his magical touch?
Two piece guide rods have me thinking of the simplicity of a revolver.
