    One of the guys in my tactical class on Saturday brought his Kimber Ultra. While it was a nice gun, his hands were just to big to keep a good grip on it. Every shot he had to reset. It shot fine for one of the smaller instructors though. I'll post of my gun safe by the end of the week.

    Kimber is also in contention. I have small hands so it may be fine for me.

    I shot a Kimber 1911 and it fit nicely in my palm (small hands too). You will not be disapointed, but they are pricey.

    I carry a Kimber Tactical Ultra - love it. It shoots real nice and feels right in my hands. The Ultras all have alloy frames which makes them lighter, but it's still heavier than the plastic guns of the same dimensions. But you can never go wrong with a 1911-based firearm. Mags are 7 round versus some of the other small size 1911's using 6-round mags.

    If you have the money, you could also consider the Wilson Combat "Bill Wilson Carry Pistol" http://www.wilsoncombat.com/p_bwc.htm

    Well, my wife wanted to buy me a pistol for Christmas so of course I didn't try to stop her. We went to a popular gun shop in Richmond just to window shop today. They had some new Springfield Micro 1911s but they wanted too much for a new one. They had this used Kimber Ultra Carry II .45 . I was originally looking at the Kimber but they are pricey for a new one. I picked this used one up for about $200 less than new. I just need to get a holster now. I need to get a better pic. Here is a better pic.

    Thumbs up

    VEDDY nice! I never would've considered an Officer's-sized 1911, until I got my Ultra Covert about a year ago as part of a deal for my POF-415.



    Crimson Trace grips are waaaaay too pricey for me, but they come with the gun! I just added a custom Kimber ambi-safety to it!

    Just added this today. I traded the Springfield XD and accessories for this little beauty. It has night sights, 7 mags, 2 holsters, bot wood grips and Hogue rubber grips, with orig box and manual.

    yeah, Ive been wanting one. Been trying to sell my XD but wasnt getting any bites and i wasnt going to just give it away to someone. I think we did a pretty good deal both ways.
