Arod757, you didn't mention how experienced a shooter your sister is, but you did note that it was her first range trip with the pistol. Just IMHO, but the first thing I'd want to rule out is the limp-wristing Texbow included in his post. Short-slide 1911s generally want a nice, firm wrist, and letting an experienced 1911 shooter put several rounds through the Kimber might tell you quickly if that's the most likely suspect.As another aside, I never shoot the factory-included magazines in my Kimbers. I've been using Wilson mags exclusively for a couple of years now. Not that the stock Kimber mags are necessarily inferior; I just like to remove variables from my equipment.
I'm also happy to note that, in the right "girl's" hands, any gun is a "girlie gun."
I personally like your sister's choice!
