Range Report-New Kimber Gold Match

[Guest TankerHC]

Bought it about a month and a half ago and just got it to the range this evening.

While my wife was in the classroom taking the first part of her NRA Basic Pistol Course, I decided to shoot and do the 500 rounds to break in my Kimber Gold Match since I havent shot it yet. Time was about 5 PM, today, and it was hot and humid. I was pouring sweat. I put a total of 501 rounds through it with 4 different types of Ammo, all 230 gr.

Winchester white box

USA Ammo

Anderson Munitions

Federal Premium LE Hollow Points.

I shot a spray of lube after every 3-4 magazines

The first 400 rounds, didnt have a single malfunction

The last 100, which were the Federal Hollow Points, I had two fails to feed on the next to last magazine. I write that off to the HP's.

Other than that, gun ran flawlessly.

Tomorrow morning I will be taking 4 hours of instruction from Cliff, putting another 200 downrange.

I took the video below with a pair of iKon Extreme 3 glasses I purchased recently. I know in the video, its clear I need to do some hand work. Hopefully, I will get some of those issues taken care of with Cliff (My instructor) tomorrow and through a lot more practice.
