I'm currently looking to purchase my first 1911 pistol. I own an XD-9 sub-compact (my carry gun) and a Sig P226 9mm.
I've narrowed my choices down to the Springfield Armory Operator 1911 and the Kimber (Desert) Warrior 1911. I'm really interested in having a rail on my 1911, and it will be used as a range and home defense weapon (so holsters aren't an issue).
Both guns are approximately the same price (~$1200) and I've played around with both and find both comfortable. Each have their merits as far as style... so I'm branching out to see if anyone has some first hand experience with a comparison between these two firearms. Also, this specific Kimber model at the store I'm planning on purchasing from DOES NOT have the firing pin safety that the newer models have.
Thanks in advance!
