The Plunger Tube on my Kimber Compact Aluminum is starting to get loose, as in, it's fairly easy to get it to separate from the frame. I found the part:

I noticed that Kimber's site says "Requires staking tool for proper installation."

Anyone installed a Plunger Tube before? Better to take it to a gunsmith? If so, who would you recommend in the DFW area?

Appreciate it!

Requires a plunger tube staking tool. They cost about $35+/- new.
Unless you have access (via friend etc) or are planning to start working
on or building 1911's, it might be most frugal to take it to a smith.

Good advice right there, especially on an aluminum frame.
