    The Springfield Lightweight (aluminum frame) Operator. It felt better weight wise and with the squared grip I felt like I had a better hold of it. This surprised me since the Kimber had the round heel frame I was looking for. But oddly once in my hand that round heel felt like it made the grip "smaller" in my hand. And I don't have @T4RFTMFW's hands!!

    Also I've never heard negative things about the Springfield pistols. And it was $999. Where as the Kimber was steel frame and about $1,400 and I've heard their pistols are.... hit or miss... pun intended.

    I've actually shot very few Springfield pistols, but I should really try them out.

    And you're totally right about how Kimbers feel once they're in your hand. They're super hit or miss (ha!) for me too. I actually didn't like any of them until I found the one I ended up with. I honestly don't know if I'd ever actually choose another Kimber in the future. Also, that price though.

    I will always understand this need... because I feel it, too.

    Uuuugh its such a good deal, but I so don't need to buy another guy right now....

    This sounds like a conversation I have with a certain someone all the time...

    "I want this patch."
    "But you need sliders...."
