| I have a Kimber Pro Elite and while the gun shoots well and has never given me any trouble I hate the take down. I hate having to go find a paper clip to take it apart. If any of you guys were in my spot would you dump it for a Colt Commander? The only reason I hesitate to get rid of the gun is because it is a pre series 2 and they only made 2500 of these. |

Quoted:
So put a USGI guide rod and recoil plug in. That's what I did with my TRP. That would be a great idea, except that it's a shit one. A Pro Elite isn't a TRP. It has a big fat bushingless bull barrel that's directly fitted to the end of the slide nor is the inside of the slide cut to take a bushing. You could send it away and have a pistol dynamics plug fitted: Like this one (not my gun BTWbut i wish it were) 
or your other option is to buy a gun made for little old ladies or french people if sticking a piece of bent wire in a hole is too much of an effort for you..... my Elite with my CBOB and my heavily modded 1991 Commander. I like some of the things that come standard with the Elite, nightsights, checkered frontstrap, a beavertail that had a bit of effort put into it's fitting, a sexy 2 tone finish etc. If you want the commander, prepare to give up some of that or pay almost the cost of the gun again to have it done nicely.
