OK, so I sent it to Kimber and already got it back. Their service was definitely fast. Maybe a week total there and back.

They included a list of all the stuff they did. Tuned this, adjusted that, etc. All of the ammo they tested on it was 124gr. So anyway, I took it to the range today and shot all of the same ammo in it.

The first was the Federal Champion 115gr. Got two FTFs on the first mag. After that, it calmed down and I was able to get through a few mags without issue, the I got a couple more later. Maybe four or so FTFs on 50 rounds of this ammo. Next was the Remington MC 115gr. Maybe a little better. Probably only 2 or 3 FTFs on a little under 50 rounds of this one. Last was the Federal HST 124gr. I only did two partially-full mags on this one (since I'm already low on HST as it is), and no issues, just like last time (but I also shot much fewer rounds of the HST, just like last time).

So, instead of dozens of FTFs and FTEs over the course of 100+ rounds, I had roughly a half dozen FTFs (no FTEs). Still not stellar results, but not the absolute clown show that it originally was. And now I'm trying to decide what to do here. It's still having problems. Should I contact Kimber again and ask them what to do? If this was your piece, would you just let it ride or sale/trade it?
Just a thought,can you get somebody else to shoot it?
