re: Another 1911 Thread

I have a Kimber SCP and carry it almost daily. Great shooting gun right out of the box. If you get the Kimber, I would recommend getting higher quality magazines for it. Either Wilson or McCormick. The only issue I have had with the Kimber was a FTF malfunction and it was related to the mag that came with the gun. ( You only get 1 btw.) I switched to McCormick mags and haven't had an issue since. The Kimber also doesn't have a traditional barrel bushing and breakdown for cleaning can be a chore. The mainspring retaining tool that comes with the gun isn't anything special. I made several out of large paperclips. I highly recommend the Kimber. Shop around tho. I got mine from a local gun shop for $100 less that a very large chain sporting goods store.
