[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4107828, member: 45773"] I finally had a chance to shoot the KDS9c today. Not really a typical 1911 feel to it...might even be better. The trigger is good...really good. I noticed a bit of a gritty feel when I dry-fired it. I gave it a good cleaning and put some lube in just the right spots and it took away all of the gritty feel. The trigger is likely as close to perfect on a production gun as I've ever felt. It's even better than my Springfield Professional (which is twice the price of the Kimber). The reset is really crisp and positive and SHORT! I fired 60 rounds, pretty much just for function because I was limited on time. No issues at all. I fired one mag (15 rounds) each of WWB, some Sig-Sauer HP stuff, Federal American eagle and Speer Gold Dot. I didn't have a target up so I just fired into my berm. It's at least MOP from 15 yards...that's "minute of pinecone" for you city types. It's got a fiber optic front sight which is quite bright and easy to see. The black outline rear sight takes a little adjustment for me because almost every handgun I have is 3 dot. But it was pretty easy with that blazing bright front sight. Recoil is, as expected for a 9mm, nearly non-existent. The wider backstrap thanks to the double-stack design really spreads the recoil out over the hand. Follow-up shots were quick...even though I don't shoot nearly as often as I once did. Assuming the reliability holds out over a few hundred more rounds, if I was looking for a new duty gun, the KDS9c would likely be at the top of a short list. I'm looking forward to getting it on paper in the next week or two. This was money well spent. [/QUOTE]
