Kimber > 1911 Pistols > SIS > SIS Custom/RL™

pretty awesome little girl, never shot one but have heard nothing but good things. I heard about it from a buddy that works L.A. SWAT, that there is a section of the LA PD called Special Investigation Section. Extremely hard to get into, and extremely elite. Well kimber made them their own little gun and thus the Kimber SIS was born.

*EDIT* Found sum info on it here:
Kimber's SIS

just in case anyone was curious

I've been through two SIS pistols -- the 3" Ultra and the 4" Pro. The Ultra shot really nicely, but I had a lot of problems with the Pro. It jammed a lot, even on ball ammo, and the safety actually snapped off during my very first range session with the thing! I sent it back to Kimber and they replaced the safety, and also made some 'reliability adjustments' to the pistol to fix the feeding issue. It worked fine when I got it back but I traded it in a few days later. One other thing to be aware of is that the finish on the SIS models isn't very durable, plus it's really slick, which can be good or bad depending on your needs/preferences. If you're looking for a 1911 with rails, you might want to look at the new Tactical Entry model. I had a Tactical Ultra last year, and it shot really nicely.
