Haven't seen a topic on this firearm yet, but was wondering if anyone has anything to say about it? I think I might get one

Kimber SIS
At a prewar diplomatic conference, the Nazi Foreign Minister Ribbentrop "sniffed" to Eden and Churchill that if there was another war, the Italians would be on Germany's side!
To which Churchill supposedly replied: "that seems only fair, we had them last time!"..

It is a Kimber; can't go wrong there. I would like one to add to my Warrior and CDP.

I was checking an SIS today at a local shop. I like it. Very nice. They had a price of $1200.
It's either that or a M&P 15......Sixburgh

They were who we thought they were.

The SIS is a really nice pistol. I do not like the SIS serrations on the slide, I like the old style serrations. I own a Kimber Ultra CDP with the internal extractor and have had no problems with it. As with any 1911 pattern pistol, you need to fire between 200-500 rounds thru it, before carrying it.
Another gun you shold look at is the S & W 1911PD, either Commander or Gov't sized pistol. They are the Scadium frame pistols, are well made and reliable. I just purchased the 4.25 inch commander 1911PD. Fit and finnish is flawless and it has been 100% reliable with 300 rounds so far. If you order it as a LEO, use SKU#408283. In that configuration it is packaged with 3 mags, as opposed to 2 with the civie SKU#. The MSRP is $1082 on the 408283 gun, $1,130 on the 208283 gun. Most dealers discount the gun to $750-850 and S & W has a $100 rebate offer until April 30th.
Just remeber, one can never own enough 1911's.
