Got a new Kimber Classic Stainless, was cleaning and putting back together, put empty magazine in to check out, and quess what. It did not lock back! Talk about being perplexed. I have a Kimber Classic Target in stainless that has worked flawlessly for two years.
Started to do some checking. My shooting stars that work great in my old Kimber, do
not lock back in my new one. Pulled out the magizine and the one from the old Kimber that came from the factory, they locked back. Checked a couple of Chip McCormick 10 rounders, it locked back. Next some old blue colt mags, locked back. Pulled the slide stop out of the old Kimber, put in the new one. Shooting stars work fine now.
I compared the two slide stops, the old one looks "longer" than the new one. As the new one works for some mags and the one it came with, I question calling Kimber and asking for a new slide stop. Thinking about ordering a new slide stop from Brownells.
Has anyone else had this problem.
