Just my two cents here......I've owned four of the Kimber .45s at one time and still own two as I type ( slowly) this.
Two Kimber Classic.......one of which was a Yonkers piece, one Target and one Royal...still own one Classic and the Royal. Good, snug well made pieces with a couple of sharp edges, but for the most part just very good guns. 10-8 sight on one and pretty soon I'll get 10-8 with the widest notch and brass bead front for the Royal. The Classic gets carried al the time and was shot in two classes with nary a bobble. All of mine have been series 1 guns. No broken parts, no unexplained problems.....just work as slick as a cats backside.
If I were to get another 1911......it would be a S&W scandium Commander size piece. That is about as easy a gun to carry as any......hardly know it is there.
