Kimber: failure...
The first time I fired my Kimber Custom CDP II, it was a tack driver. On that day, the guy next to me who was watching said that it was "scary." I attributed this to the gun and not my skills as a shooter. I put another 500 rounds through it and it was mostly a repeat of the first time.
Then, last time at the range... I'm embarrassed to say, I couldn't hit the target at 15 yds! I mean not anywhere on the target! I was aghast and dismayed. I tried two more clips. Maybe hit the edge of target. Where did the shots go? I can't tell ya. Only that it did go bang eight times.
The only thing I've changed on it is I bought three Tripp mags. I heard they were the best. The gun was cleaned before shooting.
So, am I getting old or what? Could my shooting skills have atrophied? Did something break? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.

I've had issues like this after neglecting to practice often, try setting up a very large target to see exactly where the rounds are going.
My money is on either the sights or you, I just cant imagine it being something broken.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

On to something there. Even non adjustable sights can get jarred or damaged.
