    I am not a big fan of kimbers, although they do manage to keep ALOT of people happy so that must mean somthing.

    it really comes down to budget. Take a look at springfields. I see thier loaded models pop up all the time on the local forums for good prices.


    I'm really looking to buy new... Springfield is definitely an option, I have an XD .45 now and LOVE it... The only 1911's I've really had any experience with are my buddies Taurus, and his brothers Kimber... I'll definitely be looking on some local forums and stuff at opinions soon.

    Looks good danny. Did you use any thread locker on the screws? Are you plannin on staking them at all?

    If you pick up some vaseline or some di-electric grease it will help with cleaning up any of the silver solder.

    I have never done one of these installs but it looks good!

    Went and checked the screws tonight. They were held in by a a little solder, decided to back them out out to clean. This way i can park and cerakote them seperatly, i think the end result will be better. Final install i will apply some red loctite and call it done, and think this should suffice.

    I may bust the solder out again, i got looking at it tonight. One side doesnt look as good as the other, i think i filed too much away. I did a little more clean up tonight, have a little bit more to go.

    Also started fitting a new trigger. Going to try out a short trigger and see how i like it. Nother week or two and its off to Dave Erickson for checkering and sight cuts.
