I'll probably get the Recon just to make IWB a little easier

Where the hell is Tbarr when you need him anyway? Lol

----------

Just curious because they're 14 round double stacks. Never seen one personally

What's ballpark price for the recon? A .45 will be the first thing I buy when I turn 21 haha

Newest addition to me and dad's collection, a colt .45 nickel plated, bone grip, only shot 5 times before our ownership. Beautiful gun. Got a box of hollow points just itchin for warm weather here

Just depends on where and what you get. You can get decent starter 1911's for $500-$600

The recon I believe is in the $800-1k range. There is much more expensive ones! Lol

Yeah I know prices get crazy with the 1911s lol. I'll probably look for something in the 500-1k range

You should be able to get a hell of a pistol in that price range.

Anyone have first hand experience with Kimber 1911s? Are they all they're really cracked up to be?

2002BlackRanger · #**2258** 12-22-2013, 12:35 PM

I have a Rock Island 1911 that I bought off my friend after he bought RI's compact 1911. Love the gun! Very solid and well made. The 1911 is a great platform that's simple and reliable; i guess that's why it's still being sold today by an array of firearm manufacturers.

Oh and Rock Island 1911's are some of the most affordable!

I have a rock island compact 1911 too. Nice gun for the price. I bought it used and probably spent a little to much on it, but I do like it. I used it as a cc while my xds was getting fixed for recall.

It is pretty damn heavy though.

I fired a couple other guys at the range and checked out a few at shops. It's a 1911. It shoots like one.

Personally I feel the craftsmanship is over priced. Basic gun = not basic price. You can get much more bang for your buck elsewhere. I have heard of a couple feeding issues in the past, but that was 10+ years ago and haven't heard anything since on that.

Kimber are good but over priced. I'll take any Springfield over them. My next 1911 is prob going to be a sig. And those cheep rugers have been catching y eye but it's still a Ruger idk.

Personally I've never had problems with any ruger I've owned...

Yes. I tryed to get on the 1911 bandwagon. I got a kimber pro raptor. That thing was a pain in the ass. Ammo brand sensitive and would hardly feed hollow points. When it did shoot it was awesome, but that was rare. I sold it and bought my glock.
