Cool, if you happen to have a pic of your 9152L could you send it to me. I was leaning toward that one and was curious what the sights look like. Do you use it as a carry gun or just range shooting?

Although, I have a little time to figure it out. They're a little pricy, so I have to squirrel away the funds for a little while.

Kimber seeking,

While your at it, look at the Springfield full size Black Stainless. (PX9154L)

It's my front runner so far, also found it for $675.00 at Whittaker Guns

I am also Left handed! I know the Springfields are Amby in the loaded models, do the Colts or the Kimbers come amby? can they be fitted easly?

Diode

I been wanting one for so long now, I can't make a decision anyway. I really like the Springfield's but then again a Colt or a Kimber would just be fine-o-neat!

I agree, I loved the Kimber I shot. Just a little expensive.

The Springfield "loaded" Stainless is my wish list choice right now, the Kimber is a tad pricy fer me. :)

As long as we are talking about the 1911 as a carry pistol, don't overlook the S&W 1911PD. I often carry a full size 1911PD. It weighs about 10oz less than the steel frame models and for some of us older shooters that makes a big difference.

That was what impressed me, I was more accurate with the 1911's than anything else I have fired.

I have recently been bitten by the 1911 bug. My brother has a Colt Model 70 and a friend at the range has a Kimber. After shooting both I have decided to start looking for one. I own a Xd-45 and have become a Springfield fan, so I am semi-shopping for a Springfield.
