Never been impressed with any Kimbers, from friends guns to rental guns. Overpriced for what they are in my opinion. I've seen more than one at gun stores brand new rust just sitting under the glass counter!
I've had great luck with Springfields, having owned the GI, Mil-Spec and older MC Operator. I still have the MC Operator which I rarely shoot because of .45 prices and Safariland doesn't seem to make ALS holsters for 1911s. I sent it back to Springfield last year to get the extractor fixed as it was sometimes crushing cases on extraction. Springfield of course has great customer service, I got my Operator back I test fired 200 more rounds, perfect ejection. As a plus, they even refinished the muzzle end which had holster wear from the RCS holster I used to have.
I'm still debating on whether to sell my Operator and the rest of my .45 ACP or not but for anyone looking to get into 1911s I highly recommend Springfield.
