FAQ:
This spring brought my 12-year-old Kimber back to life. Plus, I no longer need the paper clip tool to remove the spring, rod, and barrel.
Works fine. You can even pinch the slide back with one hand to chamber check as the guide rod is short enough to allow this. I had to turn the plug down with 320 grit sand paper to have a smooth fit inside the Ranger Slide..
I purchased the flat wire kit for a new Kimber Pro TLE II and what a difference it makes. Not only is cycling much better but the felt recoil is considerably less. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Great product and Wilson Combat has great replacement parts.
My Kimber is new and immediately from the get go had issues with the bullet chambering completely before the slide caught it and jammed the pistol. Had this happen at least once or twice per mag over and over. After a little research I found the Kimber recoil spring was the likely culprit. Rather than contacting Kimber, I ordered this Wilson Combat spring kit and the problem disappeared. Thanks Wilson Combat. Next time I will just buy a Wilson Combat pistol and save me the trouble of changing out factory parts on a brand new Kimber.
The one thing I hated about my champion was take down. This kit simplifies everything. No more plastic clip over the guide rod. Ill be ordering a few flat wire springs to keep in my gear bag. I cant give this product enough thumbs up!
I installed th FLat wire recoil kit into my KImber pro CDP.I purchased this gun used and it would only run with one brand of ammo and it would jam about every 10 rounds. After I installed this new spring kit I have ran 600 rounds of 4 different brands of ammo through it without one failure know I no this gun is 100 percent reliable.
Put this kit in my pro carry 2 and immediately questioned how it would work. The slide was much harder to operate making me think I'd have problems with ejecting and feeding. Today at the range said different.
Bought a used Kimber Crimson Pro Carry II, after a major problem with the 1911 I was carrying that must go to the factory to be replaced.long story
My Kimber Pro CDPII wasnt cycling right and I was thinking the problem was me losing my grip strength . After reading the reviews I decided to give this a try .
