I have a Kimber Pro Carry with 500 rounds through it. During the last 200 rounds, the slide has failed to lock on the last round on several occasions. I have read postings where other Kimber owner had similar problems. I have used Kimber and Colt/McCormick Shooting Star mags and still have the problem. Only the Wilson mag has been trouble free. During manual opeation, I observed if the mag follower does not move forward, it will not catch the slide lock.
Being new to 1911's and autos, I am not sure if other problems may exist. Thus, I have three questions.
1. If I limp wrist the last round, will it prevent the slide from locking back?
2. Do I need to replace the slide stop as some have suggested?
3. Do I need to return it to Kimber?
I want to keep the Kimber so guys--don't tell me to trade it in--itis extremely accurated.
Please advise.
