    Nice, congrats!

    Field strip her, clean the factory lube and lube her up with some fresh grease, I use synthetic cam assembly lube for break in but any ol synthetic grease will work. Then hit the range. Make sure not to give her an idiot mark!

          I got a jug of it and if it can work for cam break in, it can work for a pistol! I and many others tend to stray from the exotic, expensive gun lubes.

          BTW are those the factory grips? They look like 10-8 grips. I just put some on my TRP.

                    Eclipse Pro II?

                    Buy a Wolff 32725 xp recoil spring just in case.

                        Yeah, Eclipse Pro II. Is there an issue with the factory recoil spring?

                            On many Pro's yes. The stock recoil spring is too short/weak on many of them causing failure to return to battery issues. Wolff designed a special spring to cure the problem. Why Kimber doesn't use it or something similar is a mystery.

                              I take my new guns to bed with me for the first week or so . The wife hates all the attention the new gun gets .
                              California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.
