Now I understand that the Glock is a good 9mm weapon, but I ask you, if you have to choose between the Kimber Custom M-1911 and the Glock, why is there even a debate?

Really, I'm a stinker. I was just trying to make trouble. But seriously, I've wanted to get a handgun for some time. I've settled on the Kimber Custom, which is a fine tactical handgun and has the stopping power of a .45. I asked my friend Mike, a local range officer with one of the PD's down here in Florida, who also happens to be a gunsmith. He seconds my emotion, and also is personal friends with one of the gun designers for Kimber.

Only two things left. Purchasing the Kimber and getting my State of Florida CCW.

Be Seeing You,

Hey, I won't argue against a Kimber .45. I wouldn't mind having one myself. There are a lot of awesome 1911's out there these days. No doubt, the .45 is a better stopper, but it does take more practice, because it kicks harder than the nine.

I'm more intrigued with the .357 Sig. Less recoil than the .45, but same stopping power as the .357 Mag, which runs neck and neck with the .45 in real-world incidents. Of course, the down side to the Sig is availability of ammo. I hate tradeoffs. Cheers.
