Got this in trade yesterday from another member. I put about 100 rounds through it yesterday afternoon. This is my first alloy frame and I really noticed the recoil difference with the one mag of +P I fired. The ACT/Novak mags I got from CDNN functioned fine. It had alot of holster wear on the frame from the original owner's kydex holster so I stripped down the frame and spayed on appliance enamel. It's a little shiney but I'll eventually Duracoat it anyway. I took some steelwool to the slide and cleaned off some of the holster wear marks. The bottom of the grips were pretty dinged up so I put a couple of coats of polyurethane. I was surprised to see a plastic mainspring housing. I don't know if that is an original part or not. David

Plastic mainspring housing is definitely OEM. Second the recommendation (tentatively) on avoiding split followers. (the ACT/Novak mags should be fine). Any real determination of it's an issue with the series II guns? For example, my wifes series II ultra has a factory ramped barrel, whereas my series I is a traditional frame ramp. |
| Thanks for the heads up. I'm guessing the orginal owner carried it a lot and shot it very little because the Kimber mag is all scuffed up on the bottom but there are no marks on the feed ramp. I threw the mags I got in the Kimber box and tossed it in the attic. I've got 2 Wilson mags on the way from Brownells. David |
