I was checking out the 1911 selection at a gun shop today. I was looking at low end 1911's by several different manufactures, the clerk trying to get an idea of exactly want I wanted kept bringing different makes with different features. Then he brought up a $1200 Kimber. I told him that owning that would be a complete waste of money on my part. He said, but Kimber's are fine handguns and began to explain the advantages of the Kimber over the lower end models. I told him that I agreed with him on every point he made.
He asked me, Why then is it a waste of money? I explained it to him like this.
The gun may be capable of Superior accuracy, but I am not. I can shoot a low end 1911 like the Spgfld mil spec just as well as I could a finely tuned target gun, I know my limitations and spending $1200 for me, would be a waste of money and gun. He said , wow I never looked at it like that before. Anybody else feel this way?
