Ok, now I have a Kimber Eclipse Custom, purchased used. Got it home and the thumb safty extension promptly broke off. Called Kimber and they are sending a new one...ok.
I want second 1911 and looked at the Sig Revolution. It is just like a 1911 except that the extractor is external. Great fit and finish, night sights, 2 Novak mags., $750.
Does anyone have any experience with them?
By the way I looked at a bunch of Springfields. The made in Brazil, "loaded" models did not have consistent trigger pulls, safty pressure. To get the quality you had to go with the American made models which all were over $1,200.
Kimber is still better and gives you more for the money.
Thanks once again for your help!
