Howdy folks,
my good friend bought a Kimber Rapide in .45 caliber recently. Great piece, nice tight tolerances, shoots well.
However, his thumb magazine release seems very stiff, much stiffer than any of my 1911s.
I assume the fix would be as simple as replacing/modifying the release spring but I wanted to ask here whether anybody else has had the same problem.
I just wonder whether it's a one-off or if all Kimbers (or all Rapide models) have such a stiff release button.
Thank you in advance for any useful replies.
(and if y'all behave and don't hijack the thread, I just might post some pictures for y'all to drool over )
