I�m thinking about another 1911 (Smith, Kimber, Sig and Dan Wesson) a bobtail/round butt commander type this go round.

I have read conflicting reports about alloy frames and dimpling on the feed ramp caused by the rounds being chambered. My understanding is the Sig and Dan Wesson have a steel ramped barrel and the Kimber and Smith do not, and the steel ramped barrel precludes this from occurring on those pistols.

Are there issues with the alloy frames without the ramped barrel? I would be interested to hear how they hold up.

Perhaps there are others I should consider.
Thanks for the input.

There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
