I don't have one but done a lot of research about 9mm 1911's, the Kimber seems to be decent but the one problem that seem to happen to this particular model is the slide stop. The problem was resolve by just replacing it, if you like your Kimber I would give it a try. Heck out the 1911 forums before you make your final decision, I also wanted a 1911 in 9mm and for the money I believe that the STI Trojan is the best 9mm 1911 for the money by far. I did have a Springfield while is a good gun I think the STI is better, let me know if you want an STI so I can point you to some places that have them.
