Cleaning my Kimber Pro-Carry the other day, I noticed what looks to be a crack in a small component. Not being deeply familiar with the illustrated-parts-break-down, I would call it a "firing pin retention plate". Specifically, this is the piece that locks the extractor and firing pin in place and will drop downward out of the slide when the rear of the firing pin is pushed forward through the plate.
Is this one of Kimber's infamous M.I.M. components? What is the official name? Will a simple call to Kimber get a replacement through the mail or do I have to use a 'smith? Is there an aftermarket replacement that would be considered a smarter investment?
Thanks, in advance, for all replies.
