FTF on Kimber Custom Classic

[Jerk]

This is a repost of this problem!

I have had a Kimber Custom Classic for about a month that I purchased new (it had been put in lay away by another purchaser for 14 months). I have shot 1050 rounds of factory 230 FMJ Mag Tech, 230 FMJ UMC, 200 JHP Winchester Silvertip and Corbon 185 +P. I have had 15 FTF on all ammo except the Corbon.

The FTF's are the rounds will not fully seat into the chamber. the slide will stop 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch before fully set.

I have tried Mecgar, Shooting Star, Power Mag and Wilson 47D magazines all new with FTF's on each.

In pervious post, it was suggested to get a reliability job performed.

I decided to call Kimber, after all it is a new gun.

Dennis at Kimber recommended changing to an 18.5 pound recoil spring and trying that.

I will make it yhe range this week an put arround 200 rounds of Magtech 230 FMJ and see if the spring helps, if not Kimber will get a chance to fix the problem.

If an 18.5 # spring is needed, why doesn't Kimber put it in?
