I have both, the finish on the Custom II will wear faster, but I absolutely do NOT like the kimpro finish. It's too damn slick. If your hands are wet, or bloody it is nigh onto impossible to rack the slide. I've had my Kimber Warrior Metaloyed along with my Custom II that I use in my ccw rotation.

Custom II will be a great gun for you. For a little more you can also get the TLE II Custom, which is another great gun (got mine for $840 off gunbroker).

Like nking said, it will have an internal extractor. And the gun should be as reliable as any in Kimber's lineup.....IMO it is the best value in their entire line. Read a recent review of the Para GI Expert. $599 and is a cast frame....also does not have a GS. When you add in the GS and a few other things to make it comparable to the Custom II, the price is not that far off, and you wind up with a far inferior frame. The notion that all...
