I have a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II. It has a alloy frame and a 4" match grade barrel and match grade trigger. It shoots very nice for such a light gun. I do not carry it yet and won't until I run it a lot more. I am still working on the 1911 manual of arms. You know, that pesky safety. It is quite a change from my usual carry Sig. We had an officer killed in Dallas as his finger turned white pulling on the trigger, with the safety still on.

But I really like the Kimber.

One of the the first pistols I bought "on my own" was a Detonics Combat Commander purchased for $400 on a payment plan from Outdoor America Store in the early 80's. A compact 1911 variant with a bad reputation for failures. I think the first run had tolerance issues or something. I went to the range twice a month (paydays) sending 100 rounds downrange for 12 years and I *NEVER* had a problem with mine. Went BANG every time.

These days my go to is a Para-Ordnance P-12.45 LDA, I *LOVE* it and would highly recommend it to anyone. Same-same, goes bang every time, plus compact with 12 round mags!

Might be hard to find now as it's been discontinued, and those who have them, keep them...mostly. Good luck!
