[QUOTE="Chard, post: 1188021, member: 2454"] Feels great in the hand, great ergonomics. Love the pistol. Browning trigger pull is notoriously difficult to tune, largely because of the strange geometry of its design. The trigger pull is mediocre at best. The gun being slim, the parts are relatively small and therefore relatively fragile. In addition, many pistolsmiths consider the Browning's parts comparatively soft in virtually every incarnation of the gun. The pistol was designed in the 20's, there was no +P or machine gun ammo then. Stay away from +P ammo. I have owned two 9mm 1911's. A few years ago I purchased a new SA 1911 target and it ran great with the cheap Blazer ammo I put thru it. Never fired anything else. Traded if off. I purchased a 1977 Colt Combat Commander about two years ago. Function perfect with the cheap Blazer ammo. Never ran anything else thru it. Also only used the Metalform mags from SA in both pistols. IIRC correctly the Kimber uses a .40 caliber breachface dimensions on their pistols, SA uses the 9mm dimensions as did the Colt. [attach=full]77012[/attach] The Commander in the picture is the 9mm.
