I've read a couple of books now on 1911 customizing. Both are fairly clear that a feed ramp should be polished. Now, this seems fairly standard policy on Beretta and Sig pistols. I noticed that my Glock doesn't have a 'polished' ramp.
So, when I looked at my Kimber Pro-Carry, I was surprised to find out that they don't polish the ramp either.
So, which is it? Per these two books, a polished feed ramp is crucial for 'hot loads'. Well, since most self-defense ammo is +P nowadays (and that's what I use), I would think Kimber would polish the ramp by default.
Any opinions on this?
