I was waiting for my wife at the mall yesterday, and realized that I'd concocted a full-blown plan to sell my non-.45 guns to raise the money to buy a Kimber Compact CDP:

That's when I realized that I've got it bad... 1911 Lust, or "government model fever." After I realized that I had bought each of my other guns for particular reasons, and all of those reasons still held, - and additionally I realized that my rather junky assemblage of guns probably wouldn't get me much more than half way toward the purchase price of the Kimber - I resigned myself to saving a few dollars a week toward the gun. I should have the money together by early 2002.
I was reading a magazine called "The Complete Book of the 1911" and it occured to me that I'd also like to own a true Government Model-style 1911A1. Who makes a fairly faithful version of this gun? The Springfield entry looks pretty good: http://www.springfieldarmory.com/std_milspec_1911.html
Anyone able to point me towards others?
