Try holding your right wrist tightly with your left hand. If you do it correctly this can greatly eliminate limp wristing, and also increase steadiness of your shooting hand, which will increase accuracy. Just try it before you knock it, see if it doesn't solve the problem.
Im a civilian whom carries concealed and I am ashamed at the quality of the training,,,,, wait I mean the lack of .. that people standing around do not offer those whom do not understand how to properly engage a target or their weapon.
You have to straighten out your elbows more. The way you're holding the pistol in this video is find if you're shooting a revolver, but semi-automatic pistols rely on the recoil. You're arms are absorbing all the recoil that the pistol needs to eject the spent casing and cycle the next cartridge.
tobinweltin: dumbest gun post I've seen in here, ever. Learn a weaver stance and you'll not only see better grouping but no, your elbows are not straight, either and no, the weapon does not stop ejecting brass either. Arms are absorbing all the recoil it needs to eject the casing? Wow... You can pull the trigger with it in a vice or sitting freely in jello and it will eject just fine either way. Cheap ammo, new spring or cheap mag likely. The spring does need to be broken in.
Oh, thanks for taking the time to insult me while you try to prove me wrong. You could just as easily disagreed for me, but for some reason you feel the need to chastise others. Shows a lot of character.
First, this guy could use the weaver stance...if he wanted to shoot like he's from the '50's. I've taken courses for my CCW, and NONE of them teach the weaver stance anymore. A simple Isosceles stance is much easier, and pretty accurate.
I got a pro carry as well and never had any issues on rounds failing to extract. You should try a firmer grip with the supporting hand pulling towards your body. The only problem I had with my kimber was that it doesn't cycle the round into the chamber when I rack the slide. It may cause double feeds at times due to this but I try and rack the slide hard to prevent this from happening.
Actually, I switched magazines to using Wilson Combat mags and I put a Hogue rubber grip which helps me keep a firmer grip on the gun, and most of the problems I had have gone away. I too get the first round in a magazine sticking when racking the slide, but it hasn't caused a problem when firing the gun. I just have to rack the slide pretty hard and it usually doesn't happen.
Does it miss the next round or something like that? It might be evidence of wear on the gun, if it's alumium frame. I've shot this gun and i've never had cycling problems or stove pipes.
Just really worn out mags that needs a tap and rack.
I had a Pro Carry II chambered in .40 S&W for a while... never had a single FTF or FTE with it. Carried it on duty for a little over a year when I was an officer. From my perspective, your stance and grip may have more to do with your failures than the weapon itself. You dont appear to be locking in your right elbow or your grip. you're allowing the pistol to recoil way more than it should, and that can definitely lead to failures, both feed and extraction. JMHO.
Maybe, but the problem was a magazine. And I had a Hi Point, which is one of the most vulnerable to limp wristing, and I never had a problem with it, so I think you are off the mark.
Never had these problems with a Glock or XD. Less expensive and overall better shooters, these do not have a break in periods. You can't call "time out" to a armed robber if your gun fails to extract. I am glad I got an XD9645 over the Kimber Pro Carry II.
I might agree with you....going to give a little bit longer and see how the problems work out. For how much these guns cost, should work out of the box with no anything.....sounds like Kimber's QC has gone down the drain....if I can't get it working right, I will get rid of it, maybe get an XD or something.
Kimbers usually have a 500 round "break in" period before they start extracting reliably. Kimber tightened the tolerance to increase accuracy but as a side effect it has to be broken in.
shit i got a cdp compact and when ever i shoot it, it fires 3 to four round bursts, fucked up new in the box

i think this gun is a brand new need to shoot it in FMJ type ammo for 100-200 rounds for best results.
or the gun itself didn't have maintenance of cleaning it
my kimber pistol have the jamming problems at first 100 rounds
since that first 100 FMJ rounds fired it jams only 12 in a 100 rounds from the box
now i fired it for more than 50,000 rounds it never jams in a year and half
never jams again it is reliable to use and all is simple and meant for firing

His grip is causing the ambi thumb safety to catch the slide and the extractor might not be slipping off the old ammo.
lol...asborbing 100% of the recoil and causing FTF. Kimbers aren't 2nd grade guns...

ya and you have to break in kimbers also so that is one reason is was ftf

I'm pretty sure a glock will stovepipe if you try to support it with jello. It won't pass the two finger test. Someone on you tube has a video of it.

I suggest swapping in a Aftec Extractor...I've been looking into it and believe it remedy FTF scenarios of the 1911.
Is your frame alumium? I've heard the frame deforming from abuse. Especially the feed ramp.
Besides all this, it's a great gun.
