re: Another 1911 Thread

I'll admit I don't have a Ruger 1911, but I've had enough Ruger's through the years to appreciate both their quality design and reasonable pricing. If you're looking for a "Commander" size 1911, I personally think the Ruger will be hard to beat. If this is going to be a gun for cc, do yourself a favor and get the lightweight frame version. The Kimber will cost more and have a prettier finish, but it won't be more functional. I too like the bobbed 1911's but I haven't been able to justify the extra $$ it takes to buy one. For me, the Commander size handles better than the full size or compact.
