re: school me on 1911's.... thinking of getting a kimber

As a USC fan posting on an LSU website I can not believe you give a shite what people think. That being said I think its just another gun that is fun to shoot and would be effective if you needed it. I really like the Tactical Pro in 9mm for what its worth but for that kind of money I would look at the trophy match or trp from springfield. Also if you own a couple 9mms I cannot justifiably tell you to pass over the .45 for another 9mm. Yeah its more expensive to shoot but it doesn't break the bank to put a few hundred rounds down range a couple times a month. How much do you honestly see yourself shooting that particular gun?? just food for thought
