Had a fun afternoon with my new 1911....

Well, the reason you change out the follower is because it could damage the frame.

Okay, I'm dense, and don't have a 1911 to look at.

But how does a magazine follower damage the frame?

I happens to aluminum alloy frames because the lip of the follower can move forward and gouch up the feed ramp.

Evidently not on this one. I just checked Kimber's website, and they say this model has a ramped barrel. It's a good thing, too. Feedramp geometry is so incredibly touchy with the shorties.

I still think Devel followers are aptly named.
