Concealed Carry Thread

[BanginJimmy]

I'm seriously doubting going with anything now. Seems that every 1911 in the price range I am looking for has as many detractors as fanboys.


I am finding some more recent threads on various forums that are leaning Colt though, seems they made some serious QC advances somewhere around 2008 or 2009.


Going to see if I can find a colt to handle and see if I like the feel and trigger any better than the Kimber. One thing that does lean me towards the Colt is the warranty though.

I wouldnt hesitate to buy any colt.

I know what you mean about forum critics... look hard enough and you can find someone to bash Milah Kunis's titties... but kimber bashing is pretty consistent everywhere.

but kimber bashing is pretty consistent everywhere.

Most of the Kimber bashing I have seen is from extractors that have since been replaced and their use of MIM parts. The same MIM parts that are used by pretty much every mainstream manufacturer from Colt to S&W to Kimber to SA.

Some issues with magazines, some with recoil springs, some with a dozen other issues, but not nearly the same number in recent articles/forum posts, as in pre 2010 posts.
