My wife is eyeballing the [Kimber] Ultra CDP II for when we can legally carry.

You might also want to take a look at the Sig Sauer Mauser M2 .45 ACP Handgun. Right now it is only priced at around $425. It holds 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP, weighs 29 ounces and has a trigger pull of 8.8 pounds. It is about the same size as a Glock 23. It is probably going to be my next handgun. I love Sig Sauer handguns.

Both my wife and I are huge Sig fans. She had a 220 in 9mm in European configuration. She sold that to buy a 226 in 9mm. Just last Sunday she found a buyer for the 226.

Since we are heading to Texas in the near future we decided that 9mm was not to be the caliber for us with respect to carry, hence selling the 226.

We might have to throw that Mauser into the mix, that's a nice looking pistol. I'm wondering how it handles and fires though. Both my wife and I are picky about the handleing of the pistol, (Sigs & 1911's fit, Glock's and HK's don't). Guess we'll have to check it out at the next show.

I love Sig Sauer handguns.

Me, too. I bought a P220 .45 stainless at a gun show last year. The minute I put it in my hands I knew that was "it". Had a Glock 17 before that and it never felt right in my hand.

I like Sigs too but I think the single action pull of a .45 Kimber is far more professional than wiggly double action triggers. Although, for $425, one can only get a Rock Island .45 at most in 1911s and I am sure the Sig here is of superior quality and reliability than $400 range 1911s. Of course the 800 to $2000 Kimber is nicer if you have the money.
