I looking at buying a kimber but can't decide which one to get. I'll be using it for for concealed carry any advise. thanks in advance

The CDP Pro Carry.  Go with the HD if you don't mind the weight.

I've got the Ultra Elite, predecessor of the smallest of the new CDP pistols. It's a great carry gun--three inch barrel, meltdown treatment, tritium sights, all in a 25 oz. package. The double springs really tame the recoil and the gun is pleasant to shoot at the range for hours at a time. Lots of good carry holsters available, including a new one from Fobus. Only holds eight rounds, but if you hit what you're aiming at, you shouldn't need more than that from a .45

Thanks, I got a stainless pro carry sle. I like it so far even though i've only had time put one box through it.

I LOVE my pro carry sle.  Just plain feels good to shoot.  Next week I'm gonna get a custom eclipse II.  Full size, adjustable night sites, match everything.  Don't want to do it, I have to do it.

I have decided that my next pistol will be a .45 Kimber.  I don't know if I want a carry, or a full size, but that aside, do you fellas really feel safe carrying cocked and locked especially in a Fobus?  I personaly would feel safer with a Sig with one in the pipe and hammer down.  Don't get me wrong I love the 1911 style, but I would be more nervous with one than a Sig.  Any input on this?

Check that your 1911 is unloaded, then cock the hammer and put on the safety.  Wear it around the house, knock it about a bit, see if you can get that safety to come off.  I bet it doesn't.  If you can't get the safety to come off then you are A-OK.  People carry Glocks and Sigs all the time with no safety but a long/heavy trigger pull.  Especially in a holster with the trigger covered and the presence of a grip safety, even if it came of safe it is EXTREMELY unlikely to fire.  If you are worried about it popping out of the FOBUS get a holster with a thumbstrap.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I know that I have posted this several times, but avoid the Kimber Polymer models.  You will thank me for the advice.
