FEMALE: Picked up this gun today. Haven\\\'t fired it yet...but I love the gun. I have other Kimbers...this is my first micro 9.

I HATE the field stripping of this gun. There are two areas that are particularly annoying:

1. the recoil spring - Takes some practice and strength to re-assemble. You need to compress the spring with your hands. I got bloody the first try...newbie mistakes trying to force the spring while trying to compress it. Its sharp. This is BAD. If I had known that I may have opted not to purchase.

2. Depressing the ejector when attaching the slide to the frame - not a great feature...and annoying but not as bad as the spring.

For those of you who dont field strip and clean your guns and take them to a gunsmith for cleaning...you can ignore my diatribe. For those of us who like to clean the gun after taking it to the range...beware.

Even with the annoyances...I will keep her if she fires with some accuracy and without incident. I am already attached.
