I have a Taraus 1911 in .45
Even though it isn’t a Kimber, there is just nothing like a full size .45 Auto 1911.
Glocks, Springfield XD, even the newer Walthers just seem cheap and plastic toylike.
Glocks and SAs are nice weapons. So you want to spend twice as much by getting on a Kimber? Why not spend some real money and buy a Korth. I believe in “you get what you pay for”, but there are so many good weapons manufacturers without giving up your first born.
