Hey all, I have a one week old Kimber CDS9. I've put 600 rounds through it over two range trips.

The 1st trip I used about 50 Federal HST 147g and 250 Winchester FMJ 114g. I had no malfunctions except it would lock the slide back on the last round, this happened about 1 out of 4 times, on different mags.

I fixed the lock back issue by shaving down the magazine followers. To do this, I removed the slide from the handgun then inserted each mag with 1 bullet, this confirmed that the slide lock was getting pushed up. I trimmed each magazine follower little by little until it no longer pushed up when 1 bullet in the mag.

Before the 2nd trip I cleaned and lubricated well.

On the 2nd trip I put 100 Federal HST 147g and 200 Winchester FMJ 114g. I had two FTF, the round would partially enter the barrel but the back of the round would be under the slide's breach face. Both FTF were the same failure in the same way. These occurred around 550 round count and around the middle of the magazine's round count.

Would you send the gun back in for warranty work?
