For a while I thought I was going to hang up the 1911 for good. As my needs change (getting a CA CCW or getting an American citizenship in a shall-issue state) my needs are going from less HD and competition guns to HD and carry gun; I am becoming of the 'if I can't carry it, I don't have a use for it' in choosing a handgun.
My first 1911 was Kimber stainless which I hated. It shot good, but was unreliable, and since I learned to shoot on HKs and Berettas I wasn't used to guns failing or needing to be tuned out of the factory.
Second 1911 was (is) a KZ45. Good gun, high quality, as reliable as any HK, accurate, but the ergonomics suck. While the HKs and Berettas I shoot are big guns I can manipulate everything on them easily, which I can't do with the KZ45.
Should I get another all-steel 1911, one of high quality, like a Wilson CQB, or a Kimber Custom and swap out the crappy parts, and give the 1911 yet another shot?
