The first 1911-pattern handgun I ever fired was an older Kimber - TL, I think it was. It had a 4" barrel, anyway. When I fired it, it just felt really good in my hand. I didn't own a 1911 at the time, so when this used Series 80 Officers Model came around I jumped at it. I like it, but I just don't like it as much as I did that old rental Kimber. For one, while it's in decent shape, it's obvious that it's had a metric crap-load of rounds put down the pipe. For another, there's just something about the short barrel that just... I dunno. Feels different than I thought it would.
I've got a few hundred put aside and I'm thinking about selling or trading this Colt in. I want to stay with the Officers grip, but go to the 4" to 4.25" barrel. Budget won't allow for having both. Who makes a good CCO-style pistol that when I buy it, I won't regret having to let the Colt go?
Thanks, y'all!
