What caliber is that? I was looking at Colt and Kimber 1911s...how does one choose?

semtex

.45 How to choose? Depends on your intended use. If you intend to use it for carry, I'd recommend Kimber as most of their models have frames machined from aluminum, which means less weight. I've been through a lot of Kimbers. The one I have pictured was my all-time favorite. It's the Ultra Covert II.

Semtex had a nice 1911. I am not sure if this was a 9mm or .45, but I know they make these in both.

looks like a compact? im looking for full size for my big hands lol
and from what i hear longer barrel = better accuracy? correct me if im wrong.
haha i wanna be accurate enough to beat my uncle when i visit in jersey maybe in the summer

His was a 9mm. Look on the frame it says Kimber MF9 that and the fact I got to shoot it when Ben lived down the road from me.

Incorrect. This gun is only made in .45. Here's Kimber's page for this model: http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/co...ltra-covert-ii

It was a .45. Look more closely. It says Kimber MFG. Not MF9. Plus, if you look very carefully, you can see the .45 ACP stamp on the top of the barrel at the slide ejection port. Come to think of it, I didn't own any 9mm's, Mike. How've you been anyway? Long time no speak!

Living in LA or frisco county is much harder to get CCW's compared to sac county. Well it was hard but our new sheriff made it easier for us to get it. Although it will take almost a year to get one cause so many people are getting ccw's.
