Kimber .45 stovepipes 2nd to last shot...always!

A guy I work with purchased a Kimber .45 for $1200.00 three months ago and say's it stovepipes 2nd to last round always.

He's tried many different clips (from other Kimber owners) and always the same stovepipe.

I'd told him I'd ask for feedback.

I already told him take it back since it is still under warranty.

But any ideas? He says it's well oiled.

Does it work with someone else shooting it?He may be weak wristing it.The other thing might be the wrong recoil spring but usually some ammo will work with spring trouble. sam.

I agree with Sam. Sending it back will solve a lot of headaches, hopefully.
