Dr. Ron, you have a great bedside manner, and sound advice. For me my Kimber Ultra was the "small" .45 I wanted.

I also just have a thing for a full-size .45. This one is my "tweaked" out S&W.


She's a big girl to conceal unless I'm wearing a jacket or coat, but when I hold her,,,,,,,nevermind. ;)

Nothing wrong with your "agonizing". sometimes, the right one will find you.

Good Luck, and post some pics.  Us gun porn guys just like that kind of thing.

Dr. Ron has the prescription for you and it will liberate you and set you free to the wonderful world of the 45ACP. 

Your a poet and don't know it, doc.   :D  Seriously though, thanks for the sage advice.  You hit the nail right on the head as far as the differing opinions about the manufacturers.  Many here have attempted to enlighten me, but on this particular purchase I feel kind of like the air head cheerleader torn between nail polishes.  The gun shop that I frequent will be closed for the holiday, so I guess I have one more day to obsess before I am forced to make a decision.  However, I guess, if all else fails, I have the "einnie, meinnie, miennie, moe" method to fall back on.   ;D

TW ... NICE S&W!  I forgot to mention them in my mini-rant.  Great gun.  I usually get the "jones" for anothe 1911 and would like to get your "girl's" twin sister!

Swoop ... Have fun with the search for your next pistol.  It sounds like you are doing proper due dilligence and you will make the right choice.  Once you buy one ... you will want another ... and another ... and ...

If you get 1911 fever bad enough you might end up with a 3", 3.5", 4.25", 5", and 6", or a blue one, a stainless one, a chome one, a Colt, a Kimber, a Para, laser grips on one, a flashlight on another, etc. My limited income won't allow me to get everything I want but I had the money I would buy 100 more guns and you can bet a few of them would be 1911s.

 :) I got a Taurus 1911 last spring and it ROCKS. I had to change out the grips though. Hey, it's a 1911, you've got to customize it. I think that's a law somewhere.
