[in the Arena]

With the "melt down" I am thinking more function than form. But the $800+ has kept me from purchasing it...You know the deal, I've got more guns than I need but not all that I want...I've worn a 1911 inside the waist band and I do notice every pointy part so I think this might be a solution. I'm still on a quest for the ultimate CCW which I think is a never ending story.

Once the 1911 is in the holster, the only part that digs into me is the safety or the hammer.

When I'm using it, the only problem I have is the rear edge of the safety.

That's it.

I see no reason to spend hundreds more for a sandblasted relic.
Again, only my opinion.

There's no way I'm going to say that I think Kimbers are junk. The only reason I didn't buy one is because they don't offer the V-10 system that Springfield has.

One of the most beautiful handguns I had ever seen is Kimber's smoked finish. Absolutely beautiful.
