Looks like it is going to be the Kimber Custom II which is the one I handled the other day and liked because it felt real solid and very tight and the guy who owned it had not one complaint about it. Actually field stripped and cleaned it after my wife shot it last week. The fellow who is getting it for me said all his wholesalers are out of it right now but he will be checking every week or so. He is getting it for me for $673 + tax. Heck, who knows, maybe I will be getting rid of my Glocks and get a few more 1911's in the future.

Congrats on finding one you like.

As to your last comment, I seem to be going the other way. I had 2 1911s, then traded one for a Glock 19, now I'm considering trading the other one for a Glock 21.

To each their own, I hope your new 1911 treats ya right.

Hey, maybe you two should get together and do some tradin'!

You'd both come away happy.

Wow, stirred up the 1911 hornets nest again, eh?

Well, I agree with TAM's statement regarding the Kimbers, I've owned three, all ultras, and have had not a single issue with them. They are my EDC.

I also own a loaded Springfield, which is my favorite target pistol.

And one of the first Taurus PT1911's to roll off the line, it has been flawless. When I received this one, I took it straight to the range and put 500 rounds through it, took it back the following week and shot another 500 rounds through it. Didn't clean or disassemble the gun until after the 1000th round. Pretty well proved to be a keeper in my book.

What ever you end up getting, you'll love it. And, rest assured, you'll own more than just one before it's all done.
