Right now I have a Springfield Loaded Fullsize .45 and a Colt Commbat Commander XS Series .45 . I am looking on adding another .45 to my collection but dont know what to get and looking at Kimber or another Springfield !! Any Suggestions dont really want to spend over 750.00 for a new one!!

:confused:

Thanks
 
I think the Kimber is better looking. Plus, they are made in American, as opposed to Springfield. (Made in brazil)

Take a look at the HK 45s. The TACTICAL costs a little more, but well worth it in my opinion.Add a FLASH SUPPRESSOR and you have one sweet, soft, accurate 45.
 
To say a Springfield is Brazilian is certainly an incomplete statement. The steel might come from there, but assembly, fitting, and tuning is all done here in the States.

I would think it's commonly accepted that most any frame can be used to produce a darn fine 1911 in the right hands. Springfield has those hands.

If country of origin is such a big deal, then why do so many weapons that are cast, assembled, and boxed overseas have better reputations than American made weapons by Ruger, Colt, and Smith and Wesson? Let's not be selective in our use of "buy American"--either it matters or it doesn't. In the case of a good quality weapon, I don't think it matters much. Especially if I'm buying something that I have to depend on--gimme the best regardless of where it's made...

OK, you've got Poppa Bear and Momma Bear. Now you need to fill in with a Baby Bear. Officer's Model or one of the Baby Springfields or Kimbers.

Or, come to think of it, a family of Baby Bears. Something along the lines of the Colt Defender and the Officers. Or maybe the Kimber Compact Pro and Ultra. (Nothing against the similar offerings from Springfield - I'm just not familiar with them.)

Don't know how you feel about Glocks. I've got a box full of 45's - kimber, springfield, sig, and glock. Love 'em all but the Glock 30 is one sweet shooting 45. I would sure urge you to look at it. Great!
 
Seems to me a good Mil Spec M1911 would fit your needs. You got 2 modernized versions, get a rendition of the original!
