Seeing wear on my Kimber

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just cleaned up the pistols and the aluminum fram Kimber is showing wear on the frame rails and where the guide rod batters the frame.  I also have some scarring from using a Colt mag.  Needless to say, I'm not thrilled with these non-steel pistols.  I've probably put 5,000 rounds through this one.  Gonna upgrade my lube and leave this pistol in the safe more often.
Picked up a stainless Colt Commander XSE today.  Taking to the smith to fit the tactical thumb safety tommorrow.  I also put an arched MS housing and a beavertail grip safety.  Should have a range report by next weekend.
