I appreciate the response. Actually my wife insisted on calling the factory rep. today since she is the one who shucked out the money. I found out that the gun was misplaced at the factory on a shelf and has just found its way to the gunsmith. Neither the pattern issue nor the ejector has been looked at but I hope that is changing as we speak. I have dealt with the factory rep. during this whole thing. I have sent many emails and left countless phone messages and in kimbers defense they have continued to communicate with me. I just feel that an unfired gun should be fixed very quickly or a replacement made and that was what was promised. If the gun was misplaced that probably explains the lapse of time involved. I don't intend to bash kimber, I just want the gun that I paid a hefty price for. These guns have caught a lot of flack recently and I dearly hope it is not deserved. I'll be the first to pat Kimber on the back if they handle this properly.
