I mean at this point no matter what you buy it's still a fullsize steel frame single stack 9mm so you might as well flip a coin so at least a portion of this horrible decision is in god's hands and not yours.

Jesus christ that glock makes me kek.
Is that real or just photoshopped?

>>29981358
I found it on the local armslist.

>>29981352

Springfield. Kimber is inherently shit.
"Kimber's sell for roughly $900 up to roughly $2000. Their most popular versions that range from $900-$1500. They claim to use stainless steel barrels. True, they may have the lowest grade stainless that still qualifies as stainless, but when a customer hears stainless steel they expect a low maintenance finish. This is what you get with Kimber's stainless http://i.imgur.com/RmXF4Ux.jpg. That is a factory gun as it was received by the dealer. This is NOT an isolated incident. Google "Kimber rust" and see how many results come up.

Kimber mags. Holy fucking shit, where do I start. People often say how unreliable the 1911 is, but never consider WHY. Magazines cause 90% of the failures. If you talk about a Glock fucking up and tell people you're using those knock-off Korean mags, they tell you "Well of course it's fucking up. Get some good mags!" The same applies to the 1911. If you give ANY gun shit mags, it is not going to run. Kimber mags are the shittiest. Invest the money in Tripp, Wilson, or even Chip McCormick mags and save yourself the headache.

MIM parts. WTAF. You're telling me I'm paying close to $1000 for a gun and you're going to use fucking MIM parts? Ok as long as they're in low-stress areas I can maybe handle that. WHAT? YOU'RE USING FUCKING MIM HAMMERS AND SEARS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Ok for those of you who don't know, a 1911's legendary trigger comes from the hammer and sear interface. The actual "trigger" that you press does nothing but push the sear out from under the hammer. But if you're a dumbass and put parts that are basically cast, the hammer/sear angles will wear down very quickly and turn your trigger to shit. You NEED tool steel in those areas. The parts are not that much more expensive. Here is what happens when you put shit metal in high stress areas.Google "Kimber broken hammer" and see how many results pop up. "

I'd much rather them incorporate an aluminum based frame for once, especially for a 1911 style pistol but whatever

>>29981849
This.

>1911
>9mm

just get a bhp you stupid niggers

>>29981265
At this point practical considerations are out the window, so just go with whichever one you think looks cooler.

>>29981866
>use aluminum for once

What is the PT1911?

>inb4 taurus shit

Just saying it exists and some people tend to like the Taurus 1911s. Never owned one so I can't really say though.

>>29981849

If you want 9mm, why do you want a 1911?
