Re: Kimber or Springfield ,for my 1st 1911?

Make a list of features you want on your pistol. Then price a pistol that is close to it with add ons.

The KImber pro hd is all steel I believe. It has the 4" barrel as is very accurate. 2"-3" groups ay 25 yards. If you are shooting competion get the 5" target.

Re: Recommendations wanted

I have the KImber Compact and am really pleased with the gun. I have read on the forums that the 3" barrell guns can take some work. The 4" seam to work better without any tweaking.
