I know how to shoot a gun....blah, blah, blah (used to go hunting in my younger years, 30-06, shotguns, Ruger cap & ball and shitty Navy rifles/handguns)......but what is the latest nice handgun in those calibers? I didn't particularly like the feel of the Glocks a few years back and not sure I want to spend Kimber money unless it's worth it. Just something to have fun with and kill coons in Smithfield.
Thanks for the info homos........and I'm moving into the new house in 2 1/2 weeks Ashley.
Personally, I don't like Glocks either. Glocks do everything good, but nothing great. I don't want to sound like a Glock basher, because they're good for a lot of people, but their ergonomics are horrible and their trigger pulls leave a lot to be desired.
A Kimber is definitely worth the money, or almost any 1911 for that matter. 1911s are very reliable and accurate, albeit they're not the most inexpensive weapon either. The average 1911 typically starts around $900. Keep your eyes open to higher end Springfields and any Colt, too.
The Sig Sauer P229 is a nice weapon in .40S&W as well. Something you may want to consider as an alternative to a 1911, well everything but the price anyways. Oh, and don't get something in DAO. (double action only)
