I have a Kimber Tactical Custom II and a Kimber Pro CDP II. I'd like an Ultra as well but I've been a little bit concerned about buying one after my previous negative experiences with short 1911's. I'm going to the Big Town show this weekend, I'll keep my eye out for a good deal on one, maybe it's time I try again.

Actually I'm going to the gun show looking for a deal on a big bore revolver, but I can never pass up a good deal on a nice 1911.

I like 1911's but my personal experiences with extremely compact and short barrel 1911's has not been positive. They seem to be very picky about working properly and they're not nearly as fun to shoot as a Commander sized or full sized 1911. I'd say try to shoot a compact 1911 before buying one.
