I do noticed that some Warriors have a skeleton aluminum trigger while others have a solid trigger. Other than the color, that is the only difference I can see.
You are correct. I completely forgot that the desert warrior has the solid trigger.

I carry a Kimber CDP daily. The Warrior has less muzzle flip and is back on target noticably quicker than the CDP. (The CDP is no slouch, and I qualified on TFTT's Advanced Tactical Pistol Course with the CDP ;) )

The warrior has great balance. I plan on using it at the next school I go to.

I do notice the difference in weight when I carry it. It is not uncomfortable, just different.

If you were in Dallas you could come shoot mine.

Here is mine after I received it and after I got in protection mode.



MAN! That looks nice! It's hard to tell exactly what color it is, every picture I see looks different. I guess that's why I need to see one first!
It is actually more the color in the first pic. It looks more green in the second pic, but I think that has more to do with my pack of photography skills than anything else. :crazy:

The finish is the only difference.
