[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2142443, member: 26737"] I'm not sure what a "true" 1911 is; you can't even say it's a Colt, because a lot of the GI 1911s were built by other companies during WWII. Kimber's just as much a "true" 1911 as any of the others. I had one of Kimber's Gov't Model CDP variants, and it was a fine pistol, worth every penny I spent on it. My only complaint was that the checkering (or maybe it was stippling; I don't recall) on the frontstrap was uncomfortably sharp (well, that and the flat backstrap; what can I say, I'm an A1 kind of guy ;) ). I've also owned Colts; some were better-finished than the Kimber, but some weren't. If you can get a reasonable deal on it, I wouldn't worry too much about going for it. [/QUOTE]
