Re: USMC ordering more 45's

It has a surprisingly loose fit for the cost of the pistol. I did not get to shoot it so I can't comment on the accuracy/function. I would personnally have a hard time spending that much money on that pistol after having owned a Springfield TRP and Trophy Match.
The fit is most likely deliberate.

A Ranger captain I know strongly preferred the Glock for work in Afghanistan. He said the grit over there played havoc with tightly fitted 1911's.

Re: USMC ordering more 45's

A former Marine colleague of mine had been salivating over a Kimber CDP for quite some time until he saw this gun and proclaimed it would be his next purchase.

That held firm for about an hour until he saw the sticker price.

He now things he might be able to make do with something else.
