Just found a Kimber Pro Carry II


Not a bad choice.

My beef with Kimber's commander and officer sized 1911s is the bushingless barrel design. If you don't have the tool to retain that recoil spring you won't be able to disassemble it.

Just now learning about that. Isn't it common on that size?

A small Allen wrench works fine for this

Kimber makes a few that are smaller than the commander size too but still have all the 1911 features. The ultra carry 2 has a 3 inch barrel and weighs 25 ounces. There's one on gunbroker right now for $740 new in box
