You’d think Kimber would address those problems themselves.
You’d think so.
I remember (2012) when I bought my 2nd Kimber 5”, the FFL cautioned me against any of the smaller models “until Kimber gets the FTF kinks out”. He said that they’re very finicky about what ammo they’ll accept, but that he suspected it was a recoil spring/rod problem and their reps just poo-poo’ed it as “customer limpwristing”.
Kind of reminds me of a few of the car companies hiding an ignition, cooling or braking problem, but not quite on that scale.
