I also do regular inspections after each session. It’s so important to catch any wear before it becomes a problem.
Absolutely, I often find myself checking the springs and sights every few weeks. Just to be safe!
Do you think skipping inspections can really lead to bigger issues? I find them tedious sometimes.
Yes, they can! Skipping even one could mean a malfunction at the worst time. Safety first!
Sometimes I just clean my Raptor 2 out of boredom. It’s like an exercise in patience but oddly satisfying!
I totally get that! It can be therapeutic to take care of our gear.
I’m curious about the common problems, though. Is the Raptor 2 more prone to issues than other models?

I’ve had my Kimber Raptor 2 for about six months now. The trigger is fantastic, but I’ve noticed some feeding issues with my favorite hollow points. Anyone else facing this?

Yes! I’ve had similar problems, especially with feed ramp alignment. I had a gunsmith polish it, and it’s been much smoother since.
Just to chime in, my Kimber Raptor 2 has been great, but the grips are a bit slippery. I added some traction tape—a simple fix! Anyone else made this kind of modification?
I had that issue too! I opted for new custom grips instead. The aesthetics and grip feel are way better now!
I’m curious about maintenance tips for the Kimber Raptor 2. Any specific lubes or cleaning routines that work best for you?
I use CLP for everything! It’s simple and works great for lubrication and cleaning. Plus, it’s less messy.

I’ve also faced some inconsistency with ejection. Does anyone have a reliable fix for that? It’s definitely frustrating during practice!
I had issues with that too! Switching to a heavier recoil spring did the trick for me.
I haven’t had major issues apart from minor rust spots. I just keep it well-oiled now, but I would like to hear from others. Do you think stainless is worth it?

Definitely consider stainless! It requires less upkeep and holds up very well against corrosion. I switched and haven’t looked back!
I’ve modified my sights for better accuracy. I switched to night sights, which have been a game changer. Anyone else tinkered with theirs?
Oh, that sounds awesome! I’ve thought about it but wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Thanks for sharing!
I love the Raptor 2, but sometimes I jokingly call it a ‘finicky beauty’ because of its quirks. Makes me laugh when I troubleshoot!
