Default .45 shopping - 08-28-2006, 10:19 AM

So im gonna buy some new .45 pistols in the next 2 weeks. Up here in Maine we have a huge trading post with tons of guns. I saw every flavor of AR-15, some crazy ass sniper rifles (M24 and I think I saw a .50 caliber gun as well). Anyways I was looking at their selction and couldnt help but notice that 1/3 of there pistols were all new and used Kimber models. Any idea why this is? Bad gun or just popular. ive read on some forums that it is a good starter gun with lots of add ons etc but have also noticed some negative reviews (but ive seen this on alot of various pistols). Anyone wiht experience care to comment?

a Kimber is not a starter gun. It is a Cadilac. The most popular is the 1911 Colt. I prefer Ruger because of cost and being US made. Go to a shooting range that rents guns and shoot some before you buy. What feels good to me may not fit you

Get a Kimber Desert Warrior, or a SWAT, do it now. Atleast get a Kimber

Desert Warrior, the SWAT looks just like that, but in Black.


Kimber is one of the best .45's out there, very popular and very very good.

2006 handgun of the year: http://www.springfield-armory.com/prod- ... 5acp.shtml


but if you want to go the historical route...get a 1911

springfield armory makes an awesome GI issue 1911
