Wow, that's not good...I wouldn't trust it as a defense weapon either!

It definately sounds like something could be wrong. Even marginal 45's seem happy with 230G hardball ammo.

Both my wife and I have Kimber Ultra's and they have been 100% reliable right out of the box.

If you bought it from a store, try going back and talking to them about the problem. Many gun stores would willingly help you find a solution.

If it appears to be the fault of the Kimber, and not the mags or ammo, I suspect Kimber would be interested in making good on their product. I can't speak from experience since ours have been flawless so far...

Good luck!
