I did some banging with this gun this evening. All I can say is WOW! This thing shoots amazing. I think this may be the most accurate semi-auto handgun that I have ever fired. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase, I was a bit apprehensive for a while. I was wondering if I spent too much money, and it might not be worth it. I definately think it was worth it now after some shooting. A big thumbs up for Kimber 1911s!
