Gun Owning Smokers

A man only NEEDS one 1911, and if one is all he has, it should be a Kimber. But if a man is only allowed two weapons chambered in 45 ACP, one of them should most definitely be a Gen 4 Glock 21.

I've never shot a Kimber so can't comment on that. I'll just say that if it's well made, it'll feel great in the hand and shoot well regardless of manufacturer. I have however shot a couple different model's of Glocks. The 17 and the 21. Both in .40 cal. I didn't like them at all. Mostly it was the trigger. I found it stiff and it irritated my trigger finger after a couple hundred rounds. My brother, who had the Glocks, shot my Para Ordnance GI Expert 1911 the day we were shooting the 21, and commented on how nice and smooth, and gentle, my trigger is.

I have plans on owning a second .45 acp but it's not going to be a 1911 and that's the biggest reason I haven't saved my pennies and bought the Ruger SR1911 mentioned in a previous post. I want a Ruger single action (I believe it was the "Vaquero" I was looking at) combination .45 long colt and .45 acp. The .45 acp cylinder would get a ton of use, the long colt would get very little use. Luckily, the Vaquero will fit perfectly in the holster I have for my Super Single .22 combination.

I love my Ruger Super Blackhawk in .357. Really, all of my Rugers are just a joy to shoot.

As for 1911s, I'm waiting for the CMP to start selling off the government's stock before I get another one. I used to have a Citadel 3.5" but was not at all impressed with the accuracy.
