Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma
Small problem here, it is that my 21st b-day is coming up (well not for another 7 months but it's time to start saving money now) so it's time to set a target. Now I can't decide between a Kimber Custom Classic or a Custom CDP. Now around here the Classic runs for about $630 and the CDP for about $999. My only question is that are all the bells and whistles of the CDP worth it. I mean I like the nights sight but I don't know if I would be better off with some Novaks instead. I also like the ambi safety on the CDP. Besides that and the nice finish and the Ambi safety, what else comes with the CDP. Would I be better off just buying the Classic and putting on the bells and whistles myself? Since this is my first 1911, or for that matter handgun, advice on this matter would be welcome.
