I plan on getting my first 1911 this summer, and I have always been seen Kimber as the supperior of all 1911's.  I like the TLE/2 , just because the fact that the LAPD use them. Does anyone else have any info. on this company and this model.
thanks beau

Why Kimber?  They are simply great 1911s.  They come from the factory with the most consistent quality, tight tolerances for a factory gun, a superior barrel, and decent customer service.

The TLE RLII is a great gun, and in my opinion one of the best rail guns you can get for the money.  It's a terrific value.  However, keep in mind that holster selection will be limited.

Check this thread about Hilton Yam's opinion on different factory 1911s.   He is spot on in my opinion.

I own four Kimbers.  If I ever want to buy another 1911 I will buy another Kimber.

I own 2 Kimbers. Custom Stainless & a Pro TLE/RL.
Never had a problem with either one.
I second sysop, If I buy another 1911 it will be another Kimber.
You can't go wrong with perfection out of the box.

I've got 3 Kimbers and love em. The only other 1911 in it's price class to compete with it in my mind would be the S&W Scandium. I'd buy another Kimber in a heartbeat.

I've got 3 Kimbers and a couple of other 1911's.  Other than the SA Operator TRP, I don't think there is a 1911 above the Kimbers (Raptor, Warrior, Team USA) on my list.
Perhaps my current favorite is the TLE/RL II.  I had it refinished in SOCOM Black/OD Green.  Not only does it look sweet, the moly coating makes it run oh so smooth.  Wich I could afford to do it on all of my guns,
Any Kimber you choose will make you happy
