Get 500 rounds and a few mags and go run all 500 rounds in one range trip. You will find the flaws in your gun real quick especially if you run it hard.

Solid chance a "reliability job" ain't needed. Kimbers are fine guns, but ALL gun companies make a dud occasionally. Go shoot your gun. If it works then change what you would like. Asking on a forum what to do to your gun will get you no where. Once you find out if your blaster works or not (it probably will), and you have shot it a bit to figure out what you are going to do with the gun and what you like and don't like, then ask about suggestions on how/what to change to make the gun preform to your wants.
On an open ended question like this, the only answers you are gong to get are the "do what i do/buy what i buy" type, which may or may not be what YOU actually want/need to do Dude I have owned enough Kimber rifles and handguns to know that Reliability and Kimber do not go in the same sentence together. If you try to run that gun hard it will [censored] the bed. Don't even get me started on their rifles. I have never messed with their rifles, so no comment there. That said i see a stock kimber 1911 get run hard all the time in uspsa and it works fine. Actually see a few of them that do,only know of one that didn't, but the guy who had it always has gun issues, so who knows on that one. So my answer stays the same, shoot the gun and see how it works. Also, why would you keep buying kimbers if they don't work for you? I no longer buy them at all.. Examples, all purchased while I was overseas. Kimber Longmaster Classic- 223 Chamber was rough cut but not finished. Sent back and they installed a new barrel. Kimber Advanced Tactical 300WM- Bedding was trashed and had the barrel off another rifle with similar serial number on it. Waited 18 months for that rifle. Kimber Classic 7mm-08, Ordered and recieved, had a huge chunk of rifling missing in the barrel. I have had at least 4 of their 1911's that were bags of crap. Most needed extractor work or Ejector work or internals that crapped the bed. Wow, that sucks. Like i said though, in my experience they have been solid guns. If the OP shoots his gun a bit he will be able to figure out if it needs something or not. Have a good one
