NO !!! and yer sh1t is boring me next ...................................
tender spot h2snow? oh ya you cant have one "legally " can you that must suck aaa
My only complaint about them is no double-stack clip! I have a big enough hand that I can comfortably shoot my Para-Ordinance P-16 40 limited. Its only a 40 but theirs something about having 18 rounds for the bad guy around the corner! But, the Kimbers a very nice pistol, have a friend with one in 45 and loves it! Very reliable.

Whats it used for? Self defense or fun? Do you want a pistol, or how about a new AR? Has anyone seen the new tactical green Remington bolt action .308 with the triangulated barrel? Can't remember what they call it, but it is SICK!

Dude trust me on this. I have built ( I am also a gunsmith) and bought numerous 1911's (hence my username), from full size, to the tiny little STI LS model. All were very accurate and most were fairly reliable if you found the right ammo. I can honestly say I have carried them in every manner and weather condition from blazing hot in Texas to -24 degrees in Utah.
They are a great gun within a certain temp range and like I said with the right ammo. But all of my 1911's, all of them, would malfunction at one time or another.
If you are buying a gun for self defense or especially if you want a gun you can load and put away to keep at the ready there is nothing that compares to a Glock. I have one right now that I have kept in my truck for 2 years. It has seen temp swings from 100+ to -20's. I have over 2000s round thru it with just cursory cleaning and all types of ammo and its' never had a hiccup. I have several others that have never malfunctioned iether but they have not seen the abuse this one has.
Now before all you 1911 lovers start beating me up just know that I still love the 1911. I still build a few a year for customers and do not discourage them if they want one. I just make surre they know that the 1911 will require more maintenance and be less reliable in all conditions than a Glock.
At one time there was no bigger 1911 lover than me and even I still think Glocks are ugly and 1911's are beautiful. Just my .02.

For the grand,buy two Taurus 45's and rock on with either hand
what do you guys think of the new XD's from Springfield Armory?
I just picked up the XD in .40 a few days ago. I really like the feel, have only shot a couple of clips just off my deck so far, shoots really smooth though.
I have read a lot of good reports about this gun before I bought it.
I choose it over the Glock 22, but it was a tough decision.

I am not an authority on any subject much less this one but...... I have been shooting with some friends and family lately and getting ready for some IDPA league comps. So the idea was that each person needed to feel comfortable with their weapon and have some fun. Interestingly I have a Glock 23 that I carry for most situations other than concealed, a little too big for the small of the back carry. Anyway, we have been shooting Kahr's, Kel Tec's, 1911's or knock offs, Rugers, and Glocks. For fun shooting and lots of lead spraying so far we have 3 new pistols to the group, all are Glock 19's. The last purchase was the home defender package Glock 19, comes with 4 mags, Tritium sites, extended slide release, extended mag release, and a tactical light for $650.00. This is my mothers choice of weapon and she shoots it well. In fact everyone seems to shoot the Glock well. Another one is probably going to be added to the family this week.
Anyway, I am not saying it is the right weapon for you or anyone else but you might give it try and see if fits you well. I primary shot the Berretta for military qualifications and just recently have had the chance to shoot more brands....I still like the feel of the Glock and enjoy the reliability of them. Last point, we can rent pistols at the indoor range we shoot at and the Glocks get abused, rarely cleaned, and they just don't ever fail. For giggles one of the guys intentionally tried to kill his Glock 19 and fired 4000 rounds without maintenance....no problems, no jams, no miss-fires.
