The title will likely draw some clucks, guffahs, or other such expressions. Lol!
Suffice it to say, I am an optimist!
I've read plenty of negative accounts regarding the external extractor. And, I've also read about some positive experiences. Granted, most of the accounts found online are over 10 years old. So, I guess most owners of the EE slides have either sent them back for replacement by Kimber, (no longer free, by the way) have worked out the bugs, (if they even had any) or they've sold their EE models.
Considering the current post-election climate replete with non-availability of ammunition, I have yet to get to the range to test this particular pistol. Honestly, I don't want to expend the limited supply of .45 acp that I have. In the meantime, I've got a packet of replacement Wolf Springs for the EE on order, as well a some G-10 grips to replace the Hogue wraparounds that came on it. (Anyone have a Stainless TLE/RL II with original grips to show off?... I'd be interested in seeing what came on it.)
