Very nice!
I have 2 .45s myself.
Have you gotten to shoot it yet?
yep put 100 rounds down range today. It's a bitch because of the bump on the grip safety and the lightweight aluminum frame. Got some things im gonna change out. Installing a new Grip Safety, GI guide rod, extended mag release and single side thumb safetyQuote:

Nice piece man.
I am contemplating getting a sidearm..
Can't decide on which one tho...Looked at several so far. .45 and the 9 so far pique my interest.. Has be an auto tho.. None of the damn revolvers have a large enough handgrip.. my pinkie and half my second to last finger hang over. Seems I have large hands ?? The Sig 9 with extended grip/clip fits just about perfect.
Any advice from guys that have used/owned handguns on a good model/manufacturer before I purchase ?
thanks, It's ALOT snappier than my steel frame guns that I am used to shooting. The "bump" in the GS digs into the palm of my hand. I guess i'll just have to get used to it.
Crimson, shoot me a PM with some details on function/purpose of what you're looking to get and I'll try to help you out a bit
Man I was hopeing to see a nice piece of ass!!!
Nice gun by the way
yeah the aluminum 1911's definately do feel snappier than their steel counterparts, but with a well timed action can be quite smooth. My Custom Shop Kimber is very smooth shooting for a light weight .45. I shot mine side by side with my buddies steel framed Springer the other day and you definately notice the difference. My Kimber has a much crisper trigger though. I do prefer the Ed Brown style grip safety like yours has to the smooth one on mine though. It makes for a much more positive safety release IMO. I may swap mine out for an Ed Brown part. I already fit an Ed Brown checkered MSH on it. Here is mine.

very nice... I have a 3" ultra elite that I love just don't carry it as much as a full size. I think I might go to the smooth GS if I can find one I like
nice!
woohoo more guns! I'm gonna buy a .45 soon to keep my .40 company. I'm a fan of the XD's. That's a niiiice Kimber.
