O.K. folks, I know that this question has been asked a thousand times, I know... I searched the threads, but how well do these guns compare? I'm limited here in Kali to these two as well as a Springfield. I'm not too fond of springfields. Since these two are in the same price range, that is not an issue.
It appears that thoes who own or have owned the 945 can't say a bad word about them. True? What problems have you had, if any? A lot of people seem to like the 4" over the 5" barrel. I can't get the 4" at this time (just the 3.75") so, what makes the 4" better. I also though I read someone say that they changed the grip panels on their 945. True? S&W says they only offer the one grip and I may want a thinner one. I really like the looks of the gun, but am not fond of the fact that I can't get aftermarket parts. Also, is there a 10rd mag for the 945?
I've got mixed feelings about the Kimber. Although it appears to be one of the better production 1911's, I've heard a mixed bag of praise and problems. What can I expect?
Your help is appreciated as I hope to put a purchase together in the next week or so!
