I've been looking at various commander-sized 1911's for a few weeks, and have almost got it narrowed down to the Kimber Super Carry family or the S&W 1911 e-series scandium-framed gun. Both have the rounded bobtail grip that I think will work well for me, both seem to be "nice production" quality guns. Both have a bit of a "melt" treatment that appeals to me for carry purposes. I am aware that both will have some MIM parts, but I don't have any religious objection to that - I only care to the extent it effects function and reliability. There's a little price difference (about $150 in the stores where I can find them), but that's not really material to me.
So, I'm throwing it open for folks to weigh in on these two guns. Who's got one or both? Who's had a problem? Any known bugs or quirks? Thanks in advance for any information.
