So if finances work out, I'll be adding a high(ish)

end 9mm 1911 to the family in the spring.

These two are similarly priced, so 1911 gurus,

which one would you get, and why?

Or, what other models would you look at?

I'm not going to add 45acp to the lineup, so please refrain from those inevitable comments!

Springfield EMP was a contender, but I've read some questionable reviews.

Both Kimbers I've ever handled have had a FTF issue, so that's out.

( I know that's a SMALL representation of a manufacturer, but it's enough for me)

I'd give a good look at a springfield Range officer  --  Just came out in 9mm this year -- 

 

Sti is a great gun --  they even got rid of the billboard on the slide
