I picked up a new 'Royal carry' Kimber and took it to the range today. It failed to go into battery numerous times. Also, it has fixed sights and shot about 2" left at 15 yards, and also a little low. I was using handloads (200 LSWC & 4.2 grains of titegroup). I was a little shocked that the gun failed to go completely into battery as many times as it did. My Gold Match did not really have a break in period. It failed a few times at first, then smoothed right out. How long will a break in period last?? Also, Kimber provided no information on drift adjusting the sights. The rear sight appears to have a pin through it into the frame. Do I drift the front sight? I'm a little leary of marring the finish on this gun. It is a nice polished blue and it says 'custom shop' on it. It was a lot of money and I thought that coming from the custom shop that it would be already sighted in. Also, the groups were not as tight as I expected. certainly not up to my Gold Match. Did I make a mistake? I'm kinda disappointed so far. thanks for any replies, advise or encouragement. Ron
