    I'm just saying there is NO comparison with a 1911 and a polymer gun. Both have good and bad points. To each their own but mine will always favor a 1911. There is no polymer that can compare.

    "Funny yesterday the SWAT snipers went through their rifles, thoroughly cleaned, checked torques on mounts, etc. One needed a tool at my desk and then some help with a Harris Bipod mount. While helping he asked the significance of the framed photos all of 1911's hanging around my desk. I told him other than the fact that they are the finest handgun ever built they probably are wearing grips that I made.
    He looked somewhat perplexed after the finest handgun ever built comment. I asked him if he was a communist......finished my help and returned to my cubicle 1911 oasis. "

    THAT quote is priceless. FnA. I read some stuff here that sums it up, or describes stuff perfectly. This is one of those.

So do Kimber's. For years. They have to try to keep new things coming out, or they will go by the wayside. I don't knock the design itself, although they are still not the best option for carry. You can lead people to water, but you can't make them put on a bathing suit
    I have both a Kimber Ultra Carry II and a SA fs light weight, along with a SIG C3, Detonics Combat Master, and an STI Escort. My favorite is the SIG, but I have no complaints about the Kimber or Springfield. BTW, I didn't pay anything close $2000 for any of them - less than half on average. As far as expensive ammo, I use pretty standard ball and HP rounds in my 1911's and my other 45's.

    I've shot them, and I just don't see the hype. I'd take an HK polymer over a 1911 any day. And be more accurate with them.............................................. .there are a boatload of 1911's for sale in my area, they can't sell them fast enough, and for good $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
