I'm considering a compact 1911, probably a Springfield Champion or Kimber Compact, in stainless. I see lots of posts about "whats better", that generate as much heat as light. I understand the Kimber is somewhat dehorned, and the SA has more sharp edges. I believe I read that there are more plastic and metal injection molded parts in the Kimber, can anyone let me know what these are and what I should consider replacing. Any other differences?
My general impression from other posts is that the Kimber tends to be better fitted, finished and more accurate, while the Springfield has better customer service and is less prone to breakage. I'm sure there are exceptions, please let me know if this is generally true. IMHO, I like the appearance of the SA better, the wide serrations and the "script" logo of the Kimber I don't care for.
Thanks.
