Thanks.

Allen,
I'm waiting on a special order for a Kimber Pro Carry II end of this month. I've never fired the Kimber's but have the Les Baer's. The Ed Brown has a distinct solid feeling to it that is lacking in the Les Baer's. It feels more balanced when shooting. I'm too new a shooter to really know the difference in accuracy, as both shot 10 rings for me at 25 feet, and 3 inch groups at 50. From what the guys tell me, all .45's $1500.00 and above all shoot the same, but just have different options. IE. The browns have no Milled pieces to it, the Bobtail, etc which has it price higher than the other .45's. It's the little things, like when I push up on my safety, I feel the solidness of the piece, and feel a heavy and secure click.
I still haven't broken the Kobra carry in yet with 350 rounds, still have a slight creep in the trigger which stops me from using it for competition at this time. I live and breath competitions with my Springfield TRP Operator.
On another note, I vowed never to get another hand gun that wasn't a .45, but this bad boy caught my eye and I had to get it last night. It's a FN Herstal Five Seven Tactical Pistol, which fires the 5.7x28mm rifle round. It carries 20 rounds per clip, and the 5.7x28mm travels 2200 fps! I have to fire it on a rifle range, due to it going through the steel back ends of the pistol range. I'm told very low recoil, similliar to a .380. Can't wait to fire it.
