Re: Gun Thread (1911 Question)
The only 1911 I've ever shot was a Kimber of some sort at Bob's, and I didnt like how wide (front to back) the grips were. I've held a Springfield GI 1911 and it didnt feel bad, but I still prefer the thinner grip of my XD45 over it.

Re: Gun Thread (1911 Question)
i should have been more specific.when i said carry,i meant in my car.it stays on my nightstand,goes with me to the car,and comes back in when i get home at night.the few times i have actually carried it on me,it was on the hip.definitely too large to comfortably hide.

Re: Gun Thread (1911 Question)
judging by your screename I'd say you played a lot of doom, lol.
BTW, you cannot go wrong with a springfield. I'd really like to have a mil-spec 1911, but alas I have other things to push money torwards at the moment. I love my XD though!

Re: Gun Thread (1911 Question)
Best handgun I've ever owned, and best quality I've ever seen. Very expensvie, but I carry (in my car, never on me) a Kimber Ultra Carry II (.45 ACP, weighs only 25 ounces) with night sights and lasergrips...
Illegally.
Shhh.... Don't tell... I'll be 21 in a few months.

A friend carries the Kimber Ultra Carry II. I was considering it as my next purchase. It feels good, but I've never fired it.

Re: Gun Thread (1911 Question)
you need to.i'm still amazed every time i shoot Rob's Kimber.i've never shot any other .45 that has as little recoil and muzzle lift as that gun.with my .45,you basically have to re-aim after every shot.with the Kimber,you can practically unload once on target,with very little or no correction needed.my .380 isn't as easy to shoot.

I need to find out where he got it if he bought it in town... I'd like to scope it out this week or next week before it's too late. I like the idea of unloading, accurately, with little effort.
