I have been wanting a 1911 for a while(put it off at last purchase and bought FN 5.7). Am now starting to look seriously again. Have read lots of threads. Am looking at possibly a Kimber or a Springfield. Friend of mine swears by his Kimbers and has had lots of diff. model. Currently has a Custom Crimson Carry II and he loves it (fits my hand really well). Then another friend spent a little more and went with a spring. TRP. Always see lots of varying opinions on both guns. Can anyone clarify..lol. Thanks for any opinions

Are those the only 2 options
Ivebshot many 1911s. I was r most impressed with the springfield loaded 1911. Just as many features as many other high dollar 1911s. They cost less too. That is one of my trade regrets.
I still miss my Loaded Springer. It was the best sub $1k 1911 I have ever owned. I would get a Springer over a Kimber any day.
These are not my only 2 options just ones i have seen. Any suggestions are welcome, Dont want to go much more than $1100 so was kinda ruling out TRP and looking at a few lower springers, once again thanks for any and all replies
Springfield, Colt, Sig. All decent. Older Kimbers are Okay, but the new ones seem problematic.
As would I. Great pistol. They are sharp lookin too.
If you are gonna spend that much on a gun get what you want the first time. If you want the TRP just save a few more hundred up and get it. Trust me, if you settle for something else you will never be fully satisfied with it. At $1100 you're really not that far from a nice used TRP.
ALL Colt ALL day!
An American gun needs to be made in America from an American Company!

The only thing I don't really care for is the parkerized finish, but if you get one in stainless I guess that is a moot point. But for the price you can't beat them.
