I am guessing kimber or many others perhaps will close to give the product to any team simply to get the PR factor going. Sadly problems like this Contribute to the feeling that 1911's are not duty reliable when in fact it's a manufacturing defect. Not surprised frankly, kimber as others have mentioned helped fuel the resurgence of the 1911 with a decent 1911 with many options at a decent price. Now the price is up and quality is down.
Best guess would be either improper heat treating on the slide / breach face or wrong profile on the inside of the firing pin channel. Ad's would be unlikely as the cartridge probably will not feed up.
