DaveT, did you remove the ambi-safety yourself, or use a gunsmith?

"Texican_gal care to elaborate on your reasons for removing the ambi-safety from your Kimber? I'm not a big fan of ambi-safetys because I've seen too many of them break."
Howdy MoJo ... yes, I'll tell you. I've had the safety on the outside of the gun get knocked off in a holster or catch on clothing. It is just an extra piece of trouble hanging off the gun, if you ask me. And yes, I'm right-handed.
Also, thank you for the very clear description of what is going on with followers and the mag lips.

Thank you for the welcome, DaveT!
I must say, that I prefer the plastic follower (which is on both the Wilson and the Tripp magazines) to the steel one on the Kimber mags. I just looked at the KimPro and it still has the steel follower.
Maybe someone with more experience can tell us if this makes any real difference ....
P.S. I also have a Kimber (Eclipse Pro). I plan to remove the ambi-safety ....

No one has mentioned Tripp Cobra Mags. I have a couple and like them very much. Made in Texas ... for 1911 style only.

Just a happy customer.
Also, this is my first post here. Hello everyone!
Virgil Tripp did work on 1911 pistols, but their plating business has really expanded (due to people talking on the web about the great results they got) and now they don't have time anymore.
