Range report!

Went back to the range and ran 6 boxes through the Kimber, roughly 300 rounds. Found that one mag wouldn't lock back consistently when empty - one of the Mec-Gar mags has a slightly different, larger/longer basepad which doesn't seem to seat quite as nicely as the other Mec-Gar mags, and is iffy as to whether the slide lock back when empty. None of the other mags had this issue so I'm assuming it's a fit issue with this particular style of base pad. Going back to Reliable to see if I can swap it for a different Mec-Gar mag with a lower profile basepad.

Had some FTEs - the casing would be partially ejected, but still in the chamber, thus causing the gun to not feed the next round as the casing would be blocking the next round from coming up to feed. I think this is an extractor tension thing? As I'm swinging by Reliable Gun anyway, I'll bring the gun to have them take a look at it as I don't have the gauges to check the tension, and I'd rather not eyeball it.

Other than that, the gun ran quite well and shot really nicely when not having FTE issues. Hopefully once the extractor is tensioned correctly it will be more reliable and not have issues!
