| Please help. I am going nuts to decide. The Kimber and Sig are new and the Les Baer is used. |
damn, this poll option was WAY TOO EASY Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special 1911 - $1100 hands down (esp for that price!)-  why? better quality, fit, finish, reliability (argumentative perhapse against the Sig, but i doubt it), craftmanship, and product vs the other 2...comparing a semi-custom 1911, from an excellent company like LB to a stock, factory Sig (esp the newer ones made in the US  ) and current kimbers is no contest imoand for under $1.5 too? get the les baer |
|
I like 1911s and all but I cannot stand super priced models. I like my 1911s to be plain jane models. My Springfield Armory Mil-Spec is just what I like. I payed $450 for mine. I've never owned a Sig Sauer pistol in my life but I do know that they're good pistols. The only two that catch my interest are the P220s and the SP2022. That's it. I think you should go with the Sig Sauer. |

First off, what will it be used for? Just go to a local shop (ideally one with a range) and see which fits you best. They're all great quality guns; i only have experience with the Sig and Kimber (both in 45acp) and much prefer the Kimber simply for the feel and smooth action. But it's going to be in your hands so decide that way. |
Are there many parts to replace? Any special tools required? I would do it myself if it is not too hard. |
| Having owned a sig p226, kimber warrior, and les baer trs, I say GET THE TRS. It is my favorite pistol, the warrior has been sold and I'm thinking of selling the sig to fund another 1911. The trigger pull and accuracy of the trs cannot even compare with the other 2. Get it, you won't regret it. I paid a few hundred more for one brand new. The price you have is a good deal, and the pistol should already be broken in. |
