Gunsmithing / My Kimber Eclipse Custom Upgrades
August 11 2019 07:04:41 PM MDT
Howdy Everyone,

Did some upgrades today on my Kimber Eclipse Custom.  Installed a Wilson Combat flat bottom firing pin stop.  Needed some minor fitting.  Replaced the recoil spring with a 23# Wolff spring.  Replaced the main spring with a 25# Wolff spring.  Also replaced the firing pin spring with the provided Wolff spring that came with the recoil spring.  Now to take it to the range for testing.  Should stop throwing brass into tomorrow with these upgrades.

10mm semi-auto handguns / My New Kimber Eclipse Custom
March 16 2019 03:53:25 PM MDT
Howdy Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and new to 10mm!  So I decided to buy myself a new Kimber Eclipse Custom.  Have not taken it to the range yet.  But I had a question on the ammo I should and could shoot.  The design specs state it has an 18.5 pound recoil spring.  I am guessing given that spring weight this pistol was designed to shoot the FBI Light loads.  My intention is too shoot the full power loads from Underwood, Sig, Fiochi, and Double Tap.  With that said I've done some research and found that I should do the following upgrades:

25 pound main spring
23 pound recoil spring
Flat Bottom Firing Pin Stop

Is there anything else I am missing or would these three do the trick?  Also if I do these upgrades and start shooting full power loads should I be concerned about peening the internals?  Thank you.
