Wednesday turned in to a crappy day at the range.

My new Kimber has been home for about six weeks and has less than a thousand rounds down the barrel. For some reason the two piece guide rod decided that since I prefer a one piece guide rod it would accommodate me by self destructing during my range session. I suspect the other piece of the guide rod went somewhere down range. Who knows.

I am calling Kimber early in the morning. Hopefully I get a replacement sometime before next week. Too bad that Wes does not run their shipping department.

That's why you never do 2 piece guide rods! They come apart when you don't want them too. Either 1 piece or Browning's original design. I have a Wilson 1 piece and love yes disassembly sucks but they don't break ..

Yeah I hate the things, but that is what it came with. I want a factory set up in case it ever goes back for warranty work but you can bet it will be running something else

Did Kimber make it right?

I was wondering what happened too.

Yes they did. Kimber took good care of me. It was literally a three minute phone call to tell them what I needed and my address. Of course shipping was not up to par with what Wes has, but it was not a bad experience at all

That’s good to hear. I’ve personally never heard anything about their service, good or bad.

I only have a couple kimbers, and they have had zero issues.
