I just got back from the local gun shop. I was actually going there to purchase my first 1911, a Kimber, preferably a compact size, provided they had one in stock. They did not, but had plenty of Ultra's. Little too small.
So I was speaking with a salesperson who's opinion I have always valued and he said that I should strongly consider the Sig 1911, specifically the Revolution RCS (same CCO size as the Kimber compacts.) He said he actually prefers it to all but a couple of Kimber's offerings. I then heard people raving about the newer Sig Revolution 1911's since they worked out some of the issues in the earlier models.
First, let me say that I am a HUGE Sig fan, I actually have a 220 and a 232 that I love. But, a Sig 1911??? I find it hard to believe that a company that first started making these things just a few years ago would even be mentioned in the same sentence with companies like Kimber, Springfield and Colt. Even the salesperson said he was a little apprehensive when he first came across one, but is now a believer. It did feel very good. They did not have a rental so I could not shoot one, but it was nice looking and felt great in hand.
Any input would be appreciated. I actually came across a nice deal on a two tone RCS that would save me about $300 if I go with it instead of the Kimber.
