I've been eager to get a 1911. I'd be happy with a Rock Island, but I keep seeing Kimber ads on the back of my gun magazines. Man those are pretty guns.
I own 2 Kimbers, a Pro Carry ( full size grip w/a 4" bbl CDP) and a full size Eclipse........... They really are nice guns......my favorite 45 is my 1943 "Property of United States" My dad was a member of the US Army pistol team back in the 50s.....its a Rem / Rand frame with a Colt slide. He had an off base armorer work on it, and would buy the guy cigarettes at base prices......seemed like a good trade.
Ill try and hunt up a picture.
Sigs are flat out awesome Just picked up a P225.....love it!!!
Get the 229, it wont dissapoint
Ive had 2 MP5s back when i was 1. Single 2. no kids 3. no mortgage....etc etc etc........they are a cut above any close quarter sub machine gun out there, yes even the Uzi (awaiting the pitch forks and torches out front of my house
) And i know what u mean by sticker shock, 15 to 20k to own one, not including the Tax Stamp. The gun is inexpensive.....its the sear thats expensive
Never owned a Rock Island, but have a buddie that bought one and sent it to be made into an IPSC race gun.......thing is ssswwweeeetttt!
