There is only one name to know in production 1911 pistols and that is Kimber.
I have owned a Colt, shot several more Colts and Springfield, but my favorite
is the Kimber.
Wow, lots of Kimber fans around here...
If you want information on 1911's from people who own them, go to
www.1911forum.com the people are so knowledgeable it is scary.
I agree, great site. But read more than only the Kimber forum. Try
the Colt forum, where you'll find different opinions, like this one:

Excerpt -- hey, he's a Colt fan, and it's only his opinion:
"Kimber uses forged Skunk & Weasel frame/slides, MIM on like every
concievable part except for the firing pin... that is titanium coated Barilla linguini."
Good luck with your search!
