You really can't go wrong.  The Springfield is an awesome pistol( I wouldn't trade mine for anything). But then a Kimber is a Kimber!!  They are both exceptionally well made pistols.  Its like picking a favorite child.

SA No question.

Sportingarms.com has it for $744.  Also, call CDNN their prices are usually really good.

THe Kimber is a fine pistol with a 1 year warranty.  The Springfield has a lifetime warranty.  The Kimber will probably feel better put together, but the Springfield is pretty on par and it has night sights while the Custom II does not.  They both need minor changes if you ask me, but others will disagree.

Springfield Loaded:
New grips
GI recoil system
new MSH parts to defeat ILS

Kimber Custom II
New grips
GI recoil system
new MSH to replace plastic housing
Night sights

If it was my money, I'd get the Springfield due to the warranty.  If the Kimber had a lifetime warranty and night sights for the same price I'd get the Kimber...but it doesn't.
