Hi guys,
I bought myself a new kimber pro carry II for christmas. today i stripped it all the way down for the first time.
on this kimber there is a tiny "L" shaped pin (looks like a small allen wrench) that must be inserted into the guide rod while the slide is locked in the back position. this holds the spring in a compressed position. this allows you to push the bushing out backwards, then remove the barrel from the front. this makes it a pain i the but to take it down if you dont have this little "tool".
I guess my question(s) is, are all kimbers like this or is the something with this particular model or series? what are your experiences with kimber?
this is my first kimber, i have two colts, a gvt model and a defender. the defender is a custom shop style gun and it doesnt appear to be made quite as well as the kimber.
