I won't say how many I have, but other than a couple of weak magazine release button issues - all quickly addressed by Kimber - the rest have never missed a beat. And that new KDS9C I recently got is the best of the bunch, IMHO.. Maybe I just got lucky... Ex- USN (SS) '66-'69 Pro-Constitution. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

Every 1911 that leaves my shop is set up to do exactly that. They are returned with full magazines of empty brass, for owner testing. If your 1911 fails to feed factory loaded ammo, there is something very wrong with the gun/mag set up. Been doing 1911s for 60+ years.

When I had people at gun point, and I had my 45 pointed at them, more than once, I had them tell me, "That's a big gun". Randy NRA Patriot Life Benefactor
