Why do people openly accept this as the norm and okay? All this is, is a poorly fitted gun from the factory. They are not so tight that they need a break-in period to work properly
I respectfully disagree. I compared a lot of 1911's before I purchased. The fit between the slide-frame-bushing in the target kimber is much tighter than any other 1911 that I looked at. The only thing I found as close was a Dan Wesson. At $500 more I was willing to wait out the break in period. Besides I dont know as if the DW wouldnt have had similar break in period. Its not as if this happened on every magazine during breakin. Maybe a total of 6 or 8 times.
On the flip side, my buddy just bought a model 92 that had similar issues during the first 150 or so rounds. They are well noted as being trouble free.
