Springfield makes a better 1911.

Neither, save a few more pennies and get a Les Baer or Dan Wesson.

I urge you to read up on what Springfield did in Illinois and ask yourself if you can support that.

+1 on Dan Wesson.


If on budget... Armscor.

[Steponmytoes]

I won't be dumping any Springfield Armory INC., Geneseo, IL guns that I previously purchased (I think the last being more than 8 years ago) but I'm sure not pining to buy anything new from them.

They do seem like they are trying to correct their position, but one has to wonder if that was merely because they realized it would hurt sales of their brand rather than a genuine, seeing the light coming to religion revelation.

On May 1, 2017, Springfield Armory, Inc. published a press-release attempting to explain their trade association's support of Illinois Senate Bill 1657, which would implement significant new gun control measures in Illinois., the bill also would hurt local gun shops and limit the ability of the people of Illinois to only buy guns from big box stores.

The following day, May 2, Springfield CEO Dennis Reese released a statement announcing the "decision to sever all ties with the [Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association], effective immediately."

Reese also accepted "full responsibility for [his] failure of oversight" regarding actions taken by the IFMA to withdraw opposition of SB1657 and provide paid support of known anti-gun Illinois state senators

I have several of both Kimber and Springfield.
Both are fine guns but there are a lot more Kimber haters here on Calguns that will go for the Springer

Agree. Both are fine brands and quality guns. Never had a problem with any of mine.

Love my Kimber, but one thing to consider is the fact that it has a Swartz Firing pin safety. Many people don't like that, or any series 80 type 1911. The springer is a series 70, so no safety.

I would look for a used Dan Wesson though if I could afford over the other two choices.

After looking hard at and shooting the Springfield and the Kimber. ...............COLT!

I love my Springfield mil-spec. It is relatively speaking the most accurate and solid gun I own.
I highly suggest the mil-spec. Rock armory 1911 are total garbage, all you have to do is pick one up and you can feel it's off.

Go with a milspec
