Yes Joe, I will get a Kimber too. Honestly, I was looking for a Kimber Custom II and it was a tough decision between that and the Springfield. But I think the Springfield finish will hold up better, since it's stainless and not the matte black of of Custom II. Before I had my P220 refinished in NP3, the slide would sometimes turn a little rusty after a long day of carrying in hot, sticky weather. I really only carry in the car now, but I like for all of my handguns to be carry-ready. And I haven't seen any other finish like this Springfield one except on the SIG Equinox's, which I don't like. Nostatic, SIG GSR's are way overpriced and the frames are made by Caspian (or so I heard). SIG should stick to what they do best and leave the 1911's to Colt, Kimber, Springfield and ParaOrdnance.
