one year later, give or take
Been getting ready to shoot the KSM-II more frequently. USPSA now has the single stack division and IDPA has the CDP division.
I employed it in an IDPA match a few weekends ago. No malfunctions of any kind. I managed to finish 5th out of 51 shooters, 2nd in the CDP division and won stage #4 outright. The match director allowed a guy with a USPSA open gun to shoot the match
grumble: don't ask; I don't know; and I agree), and I even beat him :rofl:

I wish I could duplicate that effort more often, it was a great run.
But this is a range report. Over the last year this is what has happened:
First, the ambi-thumb safety broke (MIM part) replaced it with an Ed Brown steel ambi.
Second, the ejector broker, the protruding arm, not the entire piece(MIM part). Replaced it with an Ed Brown, though I suspect it broke and the gun continuing to function w/o error. My gunsmith thought that likely. Replaced it anyways.
Currently there is a pin extending from my adjustable rear sight; on the right hand side, that holds the L-R adjustment in place. One day I just noticed it sticking out a little more than 1/16th of an inch. I can push it back in flush but after shooting it I observed the pin has worked it's way back out. It seems to stop there, no further. Not sure I'm gonna do anything about it at this time.
Replaced the slide stop release with a Wilson as it was MIM also and didn't want to risk it breaking sometime important. Call it a non-repair replacement. (Saw in another post the hammer was MIM, kinda frightening)
Long ago replaced the front sight with a Dawson fiber optic. Love it.
Other than some holster wear around the front of the slide and nicks around the ejection port (and a strange dent on the mag well- don't know how it got there), it looks great.
Still shoots like a dream. I had it loaded with Remington Golden Sabers (230 grn HP) until recently for in home emergency. I shot the 25 without malfunction. I also shot about 35 rnds of Speer Gold Dots (230 grn HP) without malfunction, those are now loaded in the beautiful beast. Both were spot on POA-POI. I've been experiencing an occassional F-t-Feed on the last round out of one particular magazine. Other than that I'm hard pressed to recall malfunctions. I've been shooting Walmart sold UMC 230grn FMJ without complaint.
Anyone want to comment on the slight up and down movement on my trigger? Should it be moving?
