| Got my new Kimber yesterday
I bought a new Custom II yesterday. Went to the range and tried it out. It seems very accurate but it has the worst trigger I've ever seen on a hand gun. A lot of real rough creep before it shoots. I guess I'll shoot it some more to see if any other issues come up, then send it back to Kimber. Has anyone else had the same problem? |

Congrads on the new purchase! What do you not like about the trigger on your Kimber? |

I doubt Kimber will do any trigger work on Your Pistol , You might be better served by takein' the money You would spend on shippin' the pistol to and from Kimber and if You can find a good pistolsmith in Your area and get Your ignition parts worked over......could be something as simple as a sear spring needin' adjustin' to needin' sear , hammer , sear spring , mainspring , disconector replaced and tuned.......Some Hands can buy Kuhnhausens' two books on 1911s, buy the A G I videos on 1911s and replace all the needed parts themselves Wild Bill |

Boosted the hammer with a screw driver, this took out most of the creep. Shot the gun. Slide locks back on next to last shot about a third of the time. Kimber is sending a new slide lock to try in it.

The new slide release did not correct the problem. I dimpled the original release and have put around 175 rounds through it without a problem. I want to run another 300 rounds before doing anything with trigger pull.
