Looking for another 1911 - Suggestions?

Lots of good recommendations here so far. How can anyone be sure they are making the "best" choice?

So many 1911's, so little time.

Thus it is your duty to acquire (preferably) but at least try out (definitely) as many as possible!

(PS. Some guys also seem to have this strategy with regard to women, but I'm sticking to guns for now.)

Good choice. In the long run, guns are cheaper! Just like the car.

Can't go wrong with a Kimber Custom II TLE or a Kimber Tactical Ultra , but my favorite is the Kimber Pro Elite, 1999 edition, all in 45 acp. Also own a Kahr CM9, great gun.

This right here, that's my plan. Acquire them all.

I'd still like the girl and the car, hope it's an automatic, can't drive a stick but I'll figure out a way if I have too.

Well, Ferrari has an automatic clutch with an electronically controlled manual transmission that you can shift using paddles behind the steering wheel. And for casual driving, you can switch it to automatic shifting, even though it is not a traditional automatic and does not have a torque converter. So, choose a Ferrari when you win the lottery, Bawanna, and you will be set up to go 200 mph anytime you want to!

Girls come in automatic, too??? Sheesh, there's still a lot to learn.

My first 1911 was a 4-inch Springer Champion Loaded, and I love it ... it's now my nightstand gun ... Like you, I wanted another, and I wanted to be able to carry it ... so I got a Kimber UCII, 3-inch .45 ... Like you, I had read of issues with short-barrel 1911s, but those warnings did not apply to my gun, which has been perfect since new, is amazingly accurate and at 25 oz unloaded is easy to carry if I'm wearing something to cover it with ... try one before you dismiss the idea, it's an excellent option and lots of fun to shoot ...
