looking at a few 1911, two options, new Kimber ultra carry II or used colt officers model series 70. kimber has all the new bells & whistlers, i'll have to do some work on the colt officers (add novak night sights, wilson hammer, beavertail memory bump safety, front & back strap checkering, beveled mag well)

Anything with a firing pin block is bad news IMO, buy what you want and have a gunsmith remove the firing pin block.
