Of the 3 listed I'll probably buy none. Kimbers QC & CS are dismal. Kimber's price points are ridiculous because the unsuspecting buyer is paying for their mass marketing. Open any gun rag and there is a 2 full page ad for Kimber. Those advertising costs are passed along to the consumer. The Colt I'll wait to pass judgement on after I get one in hand. Having listened to a Colt Rep in regards to this revolver he had positive comments about it but would not divulge anything about the internals of this gun. Colt's current manufacturing process for their 1911's is OK but it is not great. I believe we will see the same thing with this new revolver; it will work but if you think it will be anything like the older Colt Revolvers you may find yourself disappointed. The word "refined" will not be part of the description for this piece. For what it's worth I will be keeping my S&W 640 Pro. It may be the product of modern machining but it shoots and carries well.
