Thanks[:)]
Also, if anyone could recommend a quality set of night sights (adjustable if at all possible, but first and foremost rugged). I would like to be able to install them myself, but being as this is my first experience with the 1911 design i really dont know what is required to do so. Any thoughts?
It was seemingly reliable for about the first 500 or so rounds but now it fails to load to battery about every other round. I know it already sounds like it is something I've done wrong but I don't know what it would be. It used to be fully reliable, even holding it out to my side with my arm fully extended with two fingers holding. It now has a tendency to not go full forward to battery.
My confidence is already blown with it but I am still curious for your opinions.
Thing on a good wheel gun at this point.
I actually did so when the problem first arose and the sight is exactly as you described, but to me it almost looked as if the set screw screw you mention was missing. There is a small hole that appears to be threaded just to the left of the threaded hole for the vertical adjustment screw.(?) I dont see how the screw could have possible been lost as the top portion of the sight would seem to hold it in place. Ill have to take a closer look again.
You can call Kimber and they should send the set screw to you. I thought I was going to run out of threads on my rear sight when it was new and called and they sent ne a shorter front sight. If they won't send the set screw go to your local gunsmith, or
take it to your local hardware store and they should have the right set screw.
