My friend gave me his stainless 2 and said it was ftf and fte. I took the pistol apart and cleaned everything and reassembled it. After putting it back together and Lube I loaded a mag and hand cycled it. Every round went down the barrel except one ejected. I'm lost! I've never seen this happen and don't know why. Everything was reassembled correctly. Any ideas why this is happening I was For sure using 45 ammo. My friend saw this happen as well. Kimber could not believe it and sent a pre paid shipping label. I'm glad I didn't shoot it after reassembly I feel something bad could have happened. Any input would be great as to why this was happening. We also did this ten more times and had other people witness it. ?
