Kimber .. Kimber ...  Kimber ... 

I saw a guy shooting his Kimber .22 and it jammed... jammmed... jammed... and wouldn't fire all the time. I hope the .45s work better than that.

I hear a lot of good things about Kimbers too but that was the only one I actually saw being shot. Most of them seem to be really good.

Man, I still haven't taken the plunge and made a purchase.  I'm suffering from paralysis by analysis.  I've checked out the Colts, Paras, Tauruses, Kimbers... and I just can't make up my mind.   ???  Unfortunately there are no ranges in my area that allow you to rent guns, so I'm currently in the process of trying to locate examples from each company which I can borrow for a little pre purchase testing.  I initially loved the Taurus, but it seems everyone (atleast around here) keeps steering me toward either the Colts or Kimbers. I normally don't agonize over gun purchases like this, but with the threat of BHO getting elected, I have a long list of purchases to make before January.  This is probably the only 1911 I will buy, so I just want one that I will be satisfied with.  I promise, however, to give a full report after I make the purchase and get to the range.   :)

Taurus has all the bells and whistles for half the price of the others, Rock Island is a solid basic 1911 (my preference ) in the $400 $500 range (Leaves more $ for other stuff like ammo ) but I don't believe B Ho has a chance, not even all the kool aid drinking socialist back him.

Swoop ...

Confused about 1911 handguns in 45ACP?  You’ve read countless reviews that are both positive and negative … on one page people are swearing and when you flip the page someone else is singing the praise for the exact same pistol?  Distraught over the time you spent searching?  Don’t want to have cognitive dissonance or what some would call “buyer’s remorse” over the chance of making a “wrong choice”? 

My friend (a John McCain line), it’s your lucky day.  Dr. Ron has the prescription for you and it will liberate you and set you free to the wonderful world of the 45ACP. 

Here it is … they are all good.  Kimbers.  RIA.  SA.  Tauras.  Colt.  Paras. Dan Wesson.  They are all good.  You can’t go wrong!  You can buy a “race gun” or you can buy one in “plain wrap” and dress it yourself.  Above all, buy some good magazines (I like and use those from Wilson, Pachmayr, & McCormick) and some ammo and head to the range. 

Sure.  You might need to have your 1911 ramped and throated so it will feed to your expectations.  You may even need to have a new trigger, safety and sights too.  But that’s all good!  See, if you didn’t need or want all of that which can come with a 1911 … you would have bought a SIG P220.   ;D
