I wouldn't mind a Kimber, but I'd like to spend less than $1000 on the gun. After all, who would want to lose a $1000 carry gun if you ever had to use it? So any suggestions on a reasonably priced compact 1911?
If I had to use my gun, the financial loss of the gun would be one of the least important issues in my life. I still wouldn't carry a thousand gun because it would quickly turn into 500 dollar gun because of the wear. My Cheaper guns are probably worth more than I paid for them despite the wear.
