A few weeks back I found a new model Kimber 1911 sitting at a local dealer (Euro Optics) It is the Aegis Elite Pro in .45acp. It is all stainless, with a "Kim Pro Grey" finished slide, rounded butt, Commander length, factory milled for an optics mount, tall co-witness sights, and a factory mounted Vortex Venom Holographic sight, and no firing pin safety (Series 70 style).
Even though I have more 1911's than I really need, it just called to me both looks wise, and how it felt in my hand. And, if you have less than perfect vision, and have not tried a handgun with a red dot, you don't know what you are missing.
Spent some quality time with it a couple days ago at the range, and the way I could get fist size groups at 50 yards from a rest really brought a smile to my face. Great trigger pull, though I didn't measure it, and total reliability with about 125 rounds of mixed ammo. I think its a keeper, and has only reinforced my thoughts about equipping more of my hunting / range handguns with red dots.
