Sounds good. I have thought about it possibly being a magazine problem as it isn't the easiest (fluid ease of) loading the rounds in as I would like it to be. The rounds should also be easily pushed out rapidly with a thumb where as in the current ones they are quite tough when the clip is loaded.

I will buy a new clip tomorrow online and as soon as I get it I will range test it to see what the result is.

Come to think about it, the 10 round clip may be the problem. It is the stock ones that came with the pistol, but they don't seem to cycle well. I am wondering if the simple fact that the Kimber is a 7 round clip will function better without the extra pressure of containing 3 extra rounds.
