I am really sad to hear this... Last time did you send the mag's back with the
pistol? From all that I have read and heard mags are often more of a problem
than the gun. Didn't James mention something about the mags?

Do you think you just got a bad slide? What PF are you running again? What is
your recoil spring weight?

Ah, just get the SV...

If you want to sell the LB you know where to find me.

I have to say that my kimber ran pretty well but I would not get the 4" barrel
again. Now that Jardine worked on it, it seems to run fine. I have used it in
many matches. But you can ask James about how much trouble it gave me a while
back. I don't think it was directly the Kimber quality but more a combination
of that and the 4" barrel.

Good luck,
Ira
