My only issue with the Kimber 'Custom' guns is they don't actually use better components. Springfield does. You have to guns that are not really in the same class. Do you want a railed 1911 for carry? I would say no, but that is my opinion. The Covert will be...

if you want a DW PM-9, you better start looking since it's dis-continued for 2010. changing out the FO front sight, barrel bushing and hammer/sear/dis-connector, you pretty my have the same $ in it as you would a PM-9. with the PM-9 you also get front strap checkering and a better fit (mi slide has a little vertical play) . here's a pic of my 9mm Loaded.

I was actually thinking about doing something similar to my Firestorm 1911. I think the small silver parts look good on blued 1911's.

They were a limited run and the SLE stands for Stainless Limited Edition. Being a series I gun I bet it is little nicer than the new ones. The fact that it is a limited edition doesn't mean a whole lot to me but some people think they add some value.

TRP is a good pistol and would be a solid buy if it were 3-$400 cheaper. They are overpriced at $1300+
