my experience with kimbers has not been good. ive seen a grand raptor, desert warrior, a gold cup, and gold match, i think this was the name, all jam, even with ball ammo. ive been to gun shops were id look at a kimber, factory new, box never even opened before, and the ONE magazine that was supposed to be there, wasnt. We've sent the guns back to the factory and the factory took several months and didnt even fix the guns. Now ive never shot a glock, but i held one at a gun show and man it felt good in the hands, almost like an extension of the arm. One gun that you might want to consider is a springfield xd. the other day my brother took 11 magazines and ran them thru the gun, all loaded with remington golden sabers. the only malfunction was one of the cartridges had a bad primer in it. excluding that one, there was 142 shots without a jam. also, 13+1 of 45 acp? its a good combination.
