Stainless Ultra Raptor II

[clm]

Hello,
I am considering a new Stainless Ultra Raptor II,  http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/customshop/stainless_ultra_raptor_II/ .
Anyone have experience???
I am replacing a Springfield Micro-compact, can't get slide to stop locking open.
Looking for 100% reliable iwb carry 3" 1911, will Kimber be it ??
Thanks in advance,

No experience with it, but it's nice looking gun.

Since you like those over priced pistols that shoot no better than the average 1911, I say go buy it. and Good luck.

Splitting hairs,.....Para has several that could save you some bucks for ammo

PXT LDA line is the same frame.

Not bashing Kimber by any means.... .45 ammo, as we all know, ain't cheap.

Just my .02 cents...

Don't let him bother you, Some one pissed in his pop corn a couple weeks ago and he hasn't gotten over it yet.

clm, you got a good pistol,maybe complain and send it back, SA is a good company, or let a local pistol tech look at it. Your 1 problem should be solvable.

Try a heavier recoil spring

Try a heavier recoil spring

Not likely. If the recoil spring is too heavy, it might not let the slide come back far enough for the slide release to catch.

If the mag springs are weak they might not provide enough upward pressure to engage it. If the fit is too tight it could require more pressure than the mag springs can provide.

It really shouldn't be hard to resolve.
