Well, His wife and another friend were there, I saw the hole in the floor. I read the documents from Kimber responding to his complaint and denying any fault.
I’m a .45 fan myself, would not have believed it from most people, but this guy was telling the truth. Bank on it.
It can happen if the pistol was out of battery pushed the case hard enough against the slide it could happen.
I never let me say it again I never rely solely on a safety on any type of gun to many people get shot with guns that are on safe or empty. I carry a 1911a 45 have for many years but I rely on safe handling not the safetys.
