+1 for Kimber. I have the Target model in 45ACP.
I also have $8998. in spare parts and five complete pistols. Don't fall for the trap of buying after-market parts. It's a money pit. Ruger 10-22 rifles are even worse.
Conversely it keeps me out of the bars and off the streets.
1911's are about the most fun you can have and still have your clothes on.
Best wishes, Bill
