Before they knew it was cocked and locked.Great gun I like my kimber CDP 4". I would like a L.B.or Wilsom ,Vickers and a host of other $3000. guns in 1911 style.Para P14 sleeps next to my head at night.
I have three 1911s. One is a Colt made by Clark Custom Combat made in 1981. The other is a Colt Railgun made for the 100th Anniversary and the other is a Kimber CDP II that I have had coated with the Black-T process. I really can't decide which one I like best. http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l614/b52_driver/DSC_0036.jpg
I love my two Springfield Armory M1911A1 pistols. One is a pin gun with a compensator, and the other is a stock M1911A1 with a coned barrel and TungCarbide recoil spring guide. 47 ounces.
