Mike,

No 'terminology' comments here, I'll just address what you posted about.

I had a Kimber Tactical Ultra II and had a lot of jams, stovepipes and FTF's during the first 500 rounds. I was also using the less expensive Blazer brass.

Called Dennis at the Kimber Custom Shop. He said to quit using Blazer Brass, go through another couple hundred rounds and call him back. Less problems with other brass, including WWB, so I called him back. He said send it to him, I did.

I received the gun back in about 10 days, was amazed at all they had done for free. The older external extractor slide had been replaced with the newer version internal extractor slide, the barrel had been replaced, the feed ramp polished, and the night sights replaced.

Next couple of trips to the range were flawless. So, confident that I was not passing on a dud to anyone else, I promptly traded it off for two Glocks that I never have to worry about being reliable.

Is your Ultra Carry II an internal or external extractor version ? That seems to be the culprit. If it is the external extractor version, Kimber will fix it up right for nothing, just call Dennis at the custom Shop.

Also, Speer has a Gold Dot ammo that is made especially for the short barrelled 45's. Seems to work a lot better than regular 45 ammo that is used in full sized models.
