ive seen people do cqb with a 25lb 240b

Maybe in the process of moving from one position to another a 240 gunner went through a building... but no element whose LT has his head on straight would send their gunner into a building to clear rooms. No freakin way.

I was looking at some other 1911's, What are your views on Kimber? Any bad/good experiences?

No personal experience but there is a lot of Kimber info here...

Thanks again couch!

Never owned a Kimber but my good friend has had a few that I've fired. They are great pistols, well built with great finishes. You definitely pay for it though, but it's not unreasonable for the quality of pistol you get.

If you are what you're implying you are, then you are more man than I and I admit defeat in this.

check out what i just got from my grandfather for a cleaning and lube job. It was my great grand fathers in world war one. He had it on his side down in mexico leading men in the chase of poncho villa and also on his side through a stent in england and a short one across europe. Once home he had to buy his weapon from the military for $15. After WW1 my grandfather had it on his side throughout WW2 in many places including panama and guam. In 1949, after my grandfather got back and graduated college my great grandfathers neighbor, who was a shooting coach for some award winning army shooting team offered my great grand father an opportunity to send the gun back to colt, who his shooting team was endorsed by, to be "remanufactured". From what i take the gun was re-blued after a re-finish. It is all of the original parts and original grips. Only thing that looks suspect is the main spring housing, it doesn't have the loop. Anyway, check it out. It is a Colt m1911 from 1913.

They are great but its only a year warranty and they become broken suddenly on the 365th day.

Mother of god.

Amazing gun with an amazing story. I'd almost be afraid to put rounds through it, and instead just stare at it. Maybe even frame it in a locked glass case (possibly with the firing pin removed for safety).

I actually filmed my grandfather telling the story in its entirety and shot a sweet photo of him and the gun. He is fishing out some old photos of him and my great grandfather from their military days. I want to frame the gun at some point with photos of both of them and type and frame the story. My father had it as one of his prized possessions until he passed away.
