I have a few 1911A1s and will be buying another one for my birthday. In general which manufacturer makes the most accurate .45 out of the box. I have a Kimber Ultra CArry and a Para Tac4 and they are about equal in performance. I was thinking of a Springer of some mid-sized model but I'm not sure. I know this is kind of a stupid question, but I would appreciate any comments. I also have a Les Baer Concept 1, but I haven't fired it.

Thanks in advance.

Springfield Armory TRP for a non Custom out for the box

Depends what you want to spend. If you got deep enough pockets then I'd say Les Baer or Ed Brown. Kimber otherwise.

Since he said "out of the box" I assumed he wasn't talking about customs. If full blown Customs are in then by all means a Springfield Professional.

Well I went to look at a few Kimbers today and came away with putting a deposit on a .38 Super Kimber Stainless Target ll. I decided I wanted something a little different and I have enough .45s already. The pistol is a commander sized gun with excellent balance, and good pointability. I have never fired a .38 Super but I know the cartridge has been around since the late 1920s.
Any comments will be appreciated. I may have to unretire to afford the ammo but thats okay. I've already got some "Bloodwood" grips ordered for the new baby.

With the proper ammo these will shoot close to the .357.

for an out of the box production gun, your Les Baer is the one.

Sound like your happy, so I'd say you made the right choice. I too like to buy something different once in awhile. Guess that's why I have a couple of .41 Magnums. I have been wanting a .38 super for awhile but I want a 5".
