they did receive it but i have not been contacted. and i sure hope they do other wise my next one will be something else. as for in the mean time i picked up a small revolver for carry and protection. S&W of course. not gonna be a range gun at all but still need to shoot it just to get the feel. but thanks for making me feel better.

it has now been 4 weeks since they have had it. so i called today and kimber said that they would warranty the frame and replace it. i could not get a steel frame for some reason that i didnt ask. they said that it is in the works and they will call when it ships. i am pretty happy with the end result but i cant wait to get her back.

I am glad that they came through for you. I know the waiting sucks, handg in there. You'll have her back soon.

They have had the Alloy frames crack before, this was a worry I had and first traded off my Kimber 4" .45, also it ate recoil springs and they are not easy to replace.

[pranc2]

recoil springs are easy to replace. and yes it does eat them.
got the news this week. kimber shipped it to my FFL pretty fast. i couldnt make it to pick it up because i was at work. i will be picking it up tuesday morning. cant wait. it is almost like getting a new gun without having to pay as much.

Kimber will get you running like new. Just find something to do in the meantime.

Maybe Kimber's frames are MIM?

Would not surprise me.

Sig 1911 Scorpion total of 2 MIM parts. Slide stop and magazine eject button I think

That's one heck of a story. kind of makes me think I need a backup handgun now.
My cousin just got your same pro cdp II, probably only 200 rounds through it and my Custom II.
time to go inspect.

Hope it works out.

This story actually helped sway me away from my Kimber, I had no issues but I have really ****ty luck sometimes.
