I just picked up a classic custom. I took it out today and shot 50 rounds. It came with 3 mags that appear to have seen a bit of use. All but two times the slide did not lock back on the last shot. I took the mags out and worked the slide. After replacing the empty mag, the slide would lock back. This is my first Kimber and I have not had this problem with my Colt Gold Cup. Any ideas?
I took the 3 ACT mags and a Chip McCormick out today. Also installed the new recoil spring from Kimber. Had one round each in two mags that hit the top of the chamber and did not go in all of the way, this was the first two mags. I shot 200 rounds with only these first two problems, slide locked back each time after last shot. The first two mags were Blazer Brass, the rest were Fed and Win 230g fmj. New spring and mags make a happy gun, I think its fixed. Thanks for the comments, hope it keeps running good.
