Kimber is located in downtown Yonkers, NY. I stopped by the facility last year to see about a problem I was having with a gun they made but they wouldn't even look at it. Seems the name has been sold a few times and they said it wasn't their gun.
Unless they brought a gunsmith over from Turkey where the gun was made, I have a feeling they'll be lost about regulating the barrels. Jim's opinion is similar to mine, tell them you want another gun, one that patterns and operates correctly.
Or get your money back from the dealer ASAP. For $5K you can get any nuber of new SxS's, the Poli's from Rich cole would be one choice, I'm sure Rich know's what's what with those guns.
I think Kimber will be flying blind.
