Recently I purchased a Kimber Compact for a decent price. I had never shot a 1911 style firearm, nor had I shot a .45 caliber firearm. I have now shot it twice, with roughly about 200-250 rounds through it over the last week. I have shot a few glocks before, but it has been a long while. My delimma stems from a few things that I have noticed through my limited experience. First, I absolutely love how the Kimber fits in my hand. It is comfortable, it feels very balanced, and aims relatively naturally, although I dont have a lot of experience with sidearms in general. The recoil is not as bad as I expected out of a .45 ACP round, I feel like its very similar to the glock 23 I had shot before. Here is my delimma: I got this firearm because a deal had fallen through on a EXO Glock 23. Yes, the Kimber is an AMAZING sidearm, and it looks great compared to a glock as well, but it is different in a lot of ways than I am used to. I am very afraid to damage it (scratch it) because it is such a nice firearm, I treat it like a baby half of the time (making sure not to put an idiot scratch on it). I feel like if I made a mistake with this firearm (dropping it, scratching it, etc.) I would be pretty upset with myself. To make matters worse, I was at the range today and had a FTF. This is kinda lingering in my head now, 200 rounds and a FTF, that would never happen with a glock, at least never has with me. Am I just overthinking things way to much? I havent given it a whole lot of time, and maybe i'm expecting to have all these answers really quickly, but I just want some opinions honestly. I could sell this firearm and get a firearm i'm more familiar with, more comfortable with, and customize it one hundred different ways, but is that really a smart move considering I just got this firearm less than a week ago and am completely new to this platform and caliber? I'm very unsure of how I feel about all of this right now, how about some opinions?
