[QUOTE="Duck L'Orange, post: 2807473, member: 7814"] I remember somewhere a dude took a bunch of close-ups comparing a Kimber and a Springfield with really good detail. It kind of became one of those viral, meme images actually. I wish I still had it. Basically, it highlighted the differences in machining quality. The fit of slide to frame, deburring of internal parts, and a few other things I can't remember to mention were obviously superior on the Springfield. Couple this with the fact that Kimbers tend to run anywhere from a few hundred to double the price of a Springer, slipping quality in later model Kimbers, and all of the other problems mentioned by others in this thread, I can safely say I'll be choosing a Colt or Springfield for my first 1911. I'll definitely consider the Ruger now, though. The price is pretty tempting, and I've never owned a 1911 before. [/QUOTE]
