I really, really have to stay out of gun shops

Kimber is junk??? You are entitled to your opinion.....The one I fire the most, it is a 45, has well over 10k rounds, hand loads, factory reloads, you name it with 0 jams. I am far from a marksman but groups under an inch with out an issue. Can often produce the one ragged hole with it.....As far as SIG being quality some people say Chebbies are good cars.....everyone is entitled to there own opinion.. And I was wrong, my Kimber did have 1 jam, it was a round from when I was adjusting the crimp die on the reloading press...the case had a slight bulge in it......

Ink, if you can shoot a ragged hole with your .45 - 1911 you ARE a marksman... And own a gem of a 1911. :prayer:

Sold my 45 last year, waiting for a nice used Colt to stop bye my local shop. But, I would love to find a S&W 1955 Target in 45, my dream gun.

Enjoy the 22 Sig, one of the guys at my club brought a Colt Ace in 22 out one night. What a crap-load of fun to shoot.
