clean it and oil it good, these pistols are tight and don't like to be run dry .wife has a few micro's and haven't had a single issue with any of them with multiple brands of ammo and several factory mags flush and extended. don't throw in the towel after only two trips to the range.

Great suggestion. May want to check with manufacturer and check recoil spring strength. |

Kimbers, even the Micro Kimbers, like to run wet, like all 1911s. Make sure it is adequately lubed and run it with full power ammo.
My Kimber Micro has been relentlessly reliable for about 1000 rounds now, and for a small and light .380 the delayed locking system of the 1911 makes the recoil very pleasant compared to a blow back .380. |

Well, failed again.
Cleaned and lubed it liberally, First magazine did lock back ... but from then on, no lock backs on the last round and two FTE's. Should I bother with sending it to Kimber or just trade it in and move on? |

If it is in fact a defective Kimber than trading it off may solve you problem.
However, if it's a shooter induced problem trading the gun isn't the solution. I'd send it back to Kimber. |

sent it to kimber and let them look at it. if you just trade it off , buy something else and end up with the same issue then you will never know if there was actually anything wrong with it or not. If it does indeed have an issue kimber will take care of it.
