Picked this up today at Sharpshooters, our local gun shop/range. Sharpshooters had *Colts,
Remington, S&W ($1900), Para-Ordnance, and a couple other 1911's. The boss was kind enough to spend
an hour or so comparing the different makes, but the one he liked the best was the Kimber, even
though it was much less than the S&W.

Haven't fired it yet. Haven't even cleaned it yet. But, I sure like it.

That's it. No more wondering what to do. Got a lot of help from that guy out in Illinois.

Thanks, Tim.

My pleasure, John. Welcome to the world of high quality firearms. You
can already tell that the Kimber isn't a punch press,cookie-cutter
pistol. They take great care in every detail of their work.

I didn't know you were a Kimber fan. Several years ago I had a
chance to shoot about 20 different handguns in one afternoon. The
Kimbers were definitely my favorite in large caliber, center fire.
