NEJackRe: Kimber 1911 incident
200 rounds and it hasn't happened again. I talked to the smith that looked at the gun about the trigger set screw. He said he did adjust it some, but not a lot.
I am begining to think Dad just did something odd. He is known for his light and FAST trigger pulls.

mstarlingThere really is a difference between a fast double tap and "milking" the trigger. Typically IPSC folks can run triggers at less than 2 pounds of pull and still have everything work (obviously some nice parts and some real work in these triggers). The same gun may appear to double occasionally if not used properly.
When the sear engagement goes ... they tend to do more than double and are quite consistent about it ;>

Can make for a lot of fun if you are prepared for it. (Even though it is most wise to get one in this state fixed as soon as possible.)
The one Kimber I've seen was not a sterling example of a good trigger. The parts were replaced with a Cylinder & Slide matched sear/hammer/disconnector set and things were better.
Glad to hear that you're about convinced that the problem is behind you.
