Ruger makes one now too, but I'm not too sure about how competitvely its priced (although I should, I used to work for them...). I'm also a fan of the Kimber, and for pure nostalgia you can't beat a springfield.

I'm saving my pennies for a wilson, or a nighthawk. the best in the industry period.

These guys beg to differ...Les Baer, Heirloom Precision, Ed Brown, Volkmann Precision, Cylinder & Slide...

Agree on the XD's, great guns! Most likely use my XD9 4'' service model for my carry gun, but still gotta have a 1911!

I've only shot a few rental 1911's thus far and they have all been of the 5'' barrel and 'non' lightweight types. So, how's the felt hand recoil in the lightweight and shorter barrel versions? I'd guess you would feel a lot more and also depending on the ammo u r using....

I currently have a Sig p220 .45, Taurus Pt145, Taurus Pt111, S&W SW9VE.

All cost new 300-800 and are AWESOME guns.

Well it was a very Merry Christmas to me this year.. along with all of the gobs of wonderful things I got was this. A Rock Island Armory 1911 FS Tatical in Matte Nickel with extra mags and a whole slue of those big ole .45" FMJ rounds it bellows. Can't wait to heat it up.

Most deff got a little more kick than a 1911, but at the same time they`re about 20oz lighter to.they are good guns but i thinkin about a little sig .380! I want something i can put in my pocket.I`m tired of carrying big a** guns around. Will never get rid of the XD though.

go for the SA XD sub compact (the older style). i think that the barrel is a little shorter than the smallest XDM and the grip is shorter. will even fit in the back pocket if thats what you want to do. the XD sub compact 40 is my everyday cary (plus has a little more man stopping power than a 380). if you have a tighter t shirt, it will leave some imprint using a in waistband holster, but if you have a open cary permit, what does it matter. these guns also fit nicely in a blackhawk holster.
