Are you slingshotting the slide, or dropping the slide stop for the first round? My guess is that you're using the slide stop to release the slide, and you may have a slightly weak recoil spring. Just a guess, though.... :shrug:

either way...i get the same result.. I have not even spoken about finding the frame all scratched up from the thumb saftey being moved up and down. Was shocked when I stripped it down and saw it..firearm is only two weeks old.. I can live with it though..took it out to shop and polished the area. Tried to call DW today to speak with them and as my luck goes...they are closed on East coast...have to wait til tomarrow. I love the cbob, but I must admit..never had this kind of bad luck with my Kimber. Anyway, from all that I have read, i am sure the people at DW will help once I finally get them on the phone. thanks to everyone for the advice...I will keep updating as it goes along. Sooo, looks like I will be back shooting the TLE II for awhile longer...

Default update

sent an email to DW. Got one back. Solution: run another 3 to 4 hundred rounds through the gun and see what it is doing then...Bummer, I will have to go back to the range over the next couple of days... If I am not happy after that, send the gun back to DW for them to look at. honestly, I can live with only 7 rounds in the mag..if that is the way it pans out. This gun shoots better than anything I own. lets face it...i only gotta hit it with one...right? The thought is, the gun should settle down after awhile... so off to the range I go...
