I have a collection and they are usually well oiled. I am not sure why it isn't looking oiled and clean, but I can promise you it has been immaculate and had the issues. I will say say that I have always heard that you should not over oil, so it is typically enough to be oiled but not sloppy. I guess it is possible that I have it under oiled.

I haven't mailed it out yet. so I am going to clean it, oil it heavy, change the spring and get a new Kimber mag and go shooting this weekend.

I will let you know how it goes! Thanks for the tips!

T: The gun looked exceptionally clean in the pics thats why it looked "dry" to me! No offense intended on the "limp wrist" comment but I have seen it before with experienced shooters new to the 1911. Especially after 100+ rounds or so.

It may in fact not be the problem I was just throwing it out there from experience. I tend to have a high grip & on 1 gun I have, my thumb was always hitting the slidestop. When I changed my grip,the problem went away.

It took a while to figure out since I had no problems with any of my others. I'm sure you will get it straightened out good luck!!
