And I couldn't be happier! After a month+ debate over steel vs aluminum, and Kimber vs Springfield, I went to a local gun shop that had a decent selection of Kimber CDPs and SA. I was sold on the CDP and wanted to handle a Custom CDP. The CDP models are absolutely beautiful and appear well made. The triggers were light, had a little creep but were very nice. The Springfield loaded stainless appeared well made, but boxy with some sharp edges. The trigger was crisp but not as light as the Kimber. The frame/slide fit was decent on both guns, but the Kimber just felt right in my hand. Just for the sake of comparison I asked to see the Wilson Millenium Protector(my first mistake). It's the bottom of the line (steel), but just racking the slide I knew it was in another class. It is absolutely smooth as silk! You can feel the precision in the slide/frame fit. The trigger is light and very crisp. The fit and finish is outstanding and it handled very well. At that point, the Kimber and Springfield were not at the top of my list. I walked out of the shop with the Wilson and can't wait to shoot it. BTW... I am not knocking Kimber or Springfield, both are fine guns. Just relating my experience and satisfaction that this decision process is over!
