So I recently traded into another 1911. I can only afford to keep one. That's all there is to it. I cannot keep both (unless someone wants to give me a bunch of cash ).
First is the one I had first. Its a full size stainless S&W 1911. Its been 100% reliable. It has a few things I'd like to change about it, but overall, I've been very happy with it. It's a bit bulky to carry concealed, but I am already set up with several holsters to do so.
The next option is one I just got in a trade. It's an almost new Kimber Pro Raptor II. It's carbon steel in a commander size frame. It has almost brand new night sights. I like the gun, but would need to change at least the mainspring housing, as I refuse to have a 1911 with plastic parts. I would also be limited as to carry methods until I got a new holster. Currently, only my jackass shoulder rig would work.
Which one should I keep? I listed the Kimber in the classifieds, but I'm having second thoughts. In an ideal world, I'd keep both, but it's not an ideal world right now...
