I had a BP THE II Kimber get ruined after somehow I got a double charge so now i'm wanting to get a new 45. I'm hoping some of you can help me cut down on my looking time as far as the best make and model to fit my needs. I will tell you what i'm lookin for in a 45 and maybe you can give me some ideas. The Kimber was 10RD double stack mag. I have two 14rd mags for it yet so if their is a 45 I can use them mags in i'd like that to be one of the things. Another thing I like the thick grips. I have some arthritis in my fingers so the thick grips like the double stack mag fit in feel better in my hand. I really like the S/A that is one of the more important features I want. Having been a Polymer frame on the Kimber I have to question if it would have been damaged as bad if it was a steel frame gun. So a steel frame 45 is also top of my list. In time I would like to add something like the laser grips so that would also be a good feature to be able to add. The size doesn't really matter that much because now I carry a GP100 with a 4"barrel and before it blew up I carried the kimber which is a full size 1911. I hope to stay well under 800 for the gun. I'm open to any brand and model. Let me know what you feel would best fit my needs. I would say the S/A action and steel frame are the most important features I want but let me know what gun has the most features of what I listed above Thanks Chuck
