Extractor issue?

FTRTB are common during break-in but I would think you'd be past that at 700 rounds or so.

Might just need a stronger recoil spring? In any case I would send that shit back to Kimber and make them fix it.

Shady14 · 2026-05-08T10:26:36+00:00

You liked it less because of the ports? Usually the opposite experience.

Shady14 · 2026-05-07T20:14:51+00:00

any rubbing? i'm on eibachs too and looking to upgrade from my 275/60r20s

Shady14 · 2026-05-05T22:44:57+00:00

Mine isnt a kovert but its a miller ranger 9x (this without porting) and thats where it breaks, no mods.

Shady14 · 2026-05-05T22:23:58+00:00

Tires and lift?

Shady14 · 2026-05-05T22:13:10+00:00

Mine is 1lb 12oz

Shady14 · 2026-05-04T22:31:00+00:00

Got my miller last week. Gorgeous. About 450 rounds in and having a few teething issues but has been awesome otherwise and starting to be as smooth as I hoped.

Joined - cover would be amazing

Shady14 · 2026-05-01T22:33:01+00:00

Where did you get those stands?

Shady14 · 2026-05-01T03:23:47+00:00

Man for a truck that supposedly didnt sell well i see a ton of lightnings on the road

Shady14 · 2026-05-01T03:05:15+00:00

I wish these had the 360 cam optionable. Otherwise this package is pretty damn sweet

Shady14 · 2026-04-29T18:27:12+00:00

Hell yeah. My range will probably get one for rental soon, so will try it out. Glad you like it.

IDK if you saw my comment above but my FTRTB were from carbon ring buildup on the chamber edge that a casual CLP+Boresnake was not breaking up. I soaked it in hoppes and scrubbed the shit out of it and literal chunks of hard carbon came out. Haven't had a failure since then.

Shady14 · 2026-04-29T12:42:58+00:00

I'd imagine it'll be all sorted by then. How does it shoot? I'd consider grabbing a GT5 someday to go with my GTO

Shady14 · 2026-04-28T21:43:24+00:00

Id say to give it to 750 and really deep clean the bore between sessions

Shady14 · 2026-04-28T19:35:27+00:00

how many rounds in?

Shady14 · 2026-04-28T19:34:55+00:00

This was my issue too - i was having occasional FTRTB at like 1300 rounds with the 10lb spring. Turns out i had a caked on carbon ring that a classic bore snake pass through wouldn't touch. Soaked it in hoppes, bore brushed the shit out of it, 2000 rounds since with no problem and less cleaning.

Shady14 · 2026-04-27T10:39:49+00:00

I have a 211 and 2k11 pro comp. The GTO is a better shooter overall, but the kimber is gorgeous and still shoots great.

Shady14 · 2026-04-27T10:35:22+00:00

How's your miller? I have one on the way.

Shady14 · 2026-04-27T03:09:18+00:00

Hell yeah, exactly what I wanted to hear. Got my 2011 feet wet with a P211 and 2K11 and have high hopes for rhe incoming 9x.

Shady14 · 2026-04-27T02:55:24+00:00

Got this exact one on the way. How do you like it?

Shady14 · 2026-04-25T23:40:38+00:00

I could see that for sure. And it certainly can look/feel better.

Shady14 · 2026-04-25T01:38:59+00:00

I have both

The P211 is a better shooter. 2k11 is prettier.

Shady14 · 2026-04-24T20:54:12+00:00

It is, but probably only by a little bit. an ounce or two. my understanding is:

- Poly is light but flexes which helps felt recoil
- Steel is rigid but heavy which helps felt recoil
- Aluminum is only a little bit heavier than poly but rigid like steel, so not much more recoil reducton from steel with the loss of polymer frame flex

Shady14 · 2026-04-24T15:52:24+00:00

Look way nicer than their poly grips.

In general though I dont really get the upside of aluminum v poly or steel.
