That would be that small thin booklet type thing thats made out of paper...?Your Kimber manual says to replace the Compact and Pro Models Recoil springs every 800 rounds, change the Firing Pin Spring every 5000 rounds and replace the Mainspring every 5000 rounds.
Replace the Ultra Carry recoil springs every 1800 rounds and the firing pin spring and mainspring every 5000 rounds.
Man, don't you hate it when someone reads the manual?
Sorry,

Nah. I don't even OWN my gun yet. I downloaded the manual from the Kimber website. It stays nice and safe in my hard drive.That would be that small thin booklet type thing thats made out of paper...?
I've torn my house to pieces trying to find that thing... Hell, I'm still patting myself on my back for not losing that very small bent paper clip looking thingie (tool). :mrgreen:
Just keep shooting till you start having FTF, thats when you know that your spring is about to give up the ghost. I have over 1500 rnds through my colt ser 70. without a hitch.When should a recoil spring be replaced in a 1911...? 500rds? 1000rds? less...more? I'm pushing about 800 rds through my Kimber and I'm wondering if I should change mine out...
I have well ove 5000 thru my combat commander and about 3000 thru my eclipse utra.Im with baldy , when it gives me any trouble Ill change it out.That being said I do have an extra spring for the colt and a complete recoil assy. for the kimber in the range box............Just keep shooting till you start having FTF, thats when you know that your spring is about to give up the ghost.
