I've had a Kimber Micro .380 for about 2 years now. It has always been very accurate and reliable, save for needing a new mag catch which Kimber provided awhile back. Yesterday I was giving it some exercise when suddenly the slide locked up halfway open. I can pull it back, but it will not go forward more than about half. Got to looking at it, and it appears that a chunk of slide material has broken off the left side of the breech face and wedged itself between the barrel feed ramp and the frame, blocking the slide from coming forward.
I can't get this thing apart without resorting to a big hammer, so looks like the Micro is gonna be vacationing in Yonkers for awhile. Anybody ever see something like this happen before?
