Thanks for the good links! They were good reading.

One thing, though, he recommended a Kimber at the end of the article?

Based on my understanding, Kimber has gone thru quite a lot of re-org since the 1990's and thru 2005: filing for bankruptcy, sold and re-sold, firing of founder, etc. Is this company stable enough to warrant spending close to a $1K with them?

I see Ruger releasing their 1911 of late.

Besides Kimber, who else makes a decent 1911 enhanced with current technologies?
