welcome hoggle
TheBadGuy has a kimber and has alot of good things to say about it.
the springfield trp has had some pretty good reviews in the gun mags i've read recently,never held one though

good to meet you,

I have never shot a Kimber, but I know you would not be dissappointed with a TRP.

Here's one at a great price.

Have owned both (Kimber CDP II, and Springfield Loaded....) IF you get a good one! I'd go Kimber...BUT only IF??? Otherwise Springfield, I know not the definitive answer needed, but the truth IMHO

I have a stainless Kimber and love it. Most accurate pistol I've ever shot. Puts my other semi-auto's to shame.

I absolutely love my Kimber Custom Target! My all time favorite 45.

I own a total of 5 Springfields, and they are all excellent shooters. Depending on how much you want to spend, the Pro is a fine weapon, the TRP is great, and don't discount the Mil Spec either. The Mil Spec would make a fine building platform for your custom 1911 whether you have it done or build it yourself. I have two of those and one is bone stock, and the other has been reworked and neither have had one single problem.

Yeah didn't even think about the Mil Spec.

Hehehe.

What was your first gun again?

my first gun u ask, lallander? how could you forget? my New England Firearms 20 Gauge single shot! and it was stolen by a dirty crackhead!

most of you are probably like "oh, i had one of those when i was 9". well i had bought it last year. and i am 22 now. lol. i was desperate to buy a gun for the first time, and it was all i could afford with the last few dollars of my paycheck. it cost about 90 bucks.

ive decided i think im gonna go with the springfield cause its a little cheaper, and it sounds like they are both great weapons. i also plan on finding a nice short double-barreled side-by-side, and probably some sort of civilian m4. and many many more. goddamn, guns are addicting. one is never enough, even one in each category.

Go Kimber man and don't look back. They are top notch in my book!
