Some people weren't fooled by K!M3ER from the beginning. Other people are shills and will not be reasonable. Let the reader decide.
As for me, my used Colt Gummint Models and Gold Cups are the best! Don' need no steenkin' K!M3ER, LLAMA, Charles Daly, Auto Ordnance, Springfield copy. John Moses Browning assigned the patents to COLT.
If a person is new to 1911s, he would be well advised to buy a used Colt Government Model, Commander, or Gold Cup. Use the money saved to purchase Colt magazines and ammunition. Then shoot that Colt pistol! At least it will be accurate and reliable, which is more than most copies can legitimately claim. Once you have become and expert pistoleer with the Colt 45 Automatic Pistol, you can then consider buying a more sophisticated model such as a Baer, Wilson, Clark, or other reputable builder. Stay away from off brands unless you are able to fix the problems.

If you have to shoot a man, shoot him in the guts. It may not kill him... sometimes they die slow, but it'll paralyze his brain and arm and the fight is all but over Wild Bill Hickok
