A few upgrades are in its' future, but I want to identify any reliability issues before making any changes to the gun. I got out to the range early this morning with 300 rounds. I was planning to make it through them all, with a break to clean halfway through. Unfortunately, I only made it through 150 before the range that I was using to shoot was needed to set up for a match.
Kimber recommends a 400-500 round break in period, cleaning every 100-150 rounds. I was prepared for more failures than I ended up having, but only had four failures to feed out of the 150 rounds that I fired today. Three of the FTF were with the Kimber mag on the last round, and only one with my Wilson mag. I'll be sure to look into getting more quality mags, as I suspect that the Kimber mag wasn't up to par.
I wasn't as focused on accuracy, as I was on function testing the gun, but was very pleased with the accuracy from 7 yards. I've been very impressed by the gun thus far, so here's to hoping that it continues to improve, and will run flawlessly after the break in period!
150 rounds from 7 yards:
Lapping the rails with red jewlers rouge has always worked for me.
