Who has Springfield 1911's in stock? They are becoming more rare. I'm not sure why as you get get Springfield XD's everywhere so why not 1911's? As mentioned above, the name Springfield was purchased and its not the old Springfield that most people think it is or Springfield would have you believe. Not that it matters much. Kimber make some nice stuff but you have to know what your buying as it's easy to take a lemon home and not realize it until you field strip it. I would just get both in due time. I don't know how you can have just one 1911. :slap:
 
I voted Kimber. My Kimber Gold Match is the nicest (and most accurate)handgun I own, very clean both outside & inside.
 
bought a springfield used but with adj sights, and well put together from a cgn member about a year ago, excellent workhorse. Never tried a kimber, but if one has the extra money, i would go with kimber. agreed that it comes down to what features you want to spend the money on, and comes down to buying the right model rather than do add ons later, at much higher costs.

kind of grew up with diff. 45's over the years, the first one being a colt series 70, which unfortunately was a piece of crap, spent $450 on that but needed a qualified smith and after market parts to make that old girl work right. so i have a lot of respect for the "clones" and "johnny come lately" manufacturers like kimber and springfield

my top 2 favourites are my valtro 45 and a stainless smith 1911 with adj sights, though for the latter, i would have like it even more with the rails. happy shopping!!
 
Who sells springfield in Canada these days ? These are the 2 brands I'm looking at as well .. I'd probably go for the TRP if I can afford it. How much are they anyway?
