Kimber Pro Carry II

First time out shooting my new Kimber Pro Carry II - Had a couple issues, thinking it's either the old ammo I had or an issue with the extractor....spent rounds are getting stuck halfway out of the barrel. Felt great to shoot, comes with night sights, good gun.

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.

Im a military guy anyways.

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.

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

I heard they jam a bunch

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.

Pun intended?

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.

[compmanio36]

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.
