I just got a Classic Custom in blue finish.  I really like this gun alot.  It came down to either a Springfeild Armory stainless loaded model or the Kimber in blue with a stainless barrel.  The reason I went with the Kimber was that Kimber doesn't put that silly internal lock on its pistols.  A dude at the National Forrest shooting area said he had one and that it was his best 1911.  He said not to use CCI Blazer ammo.  To late on that, but they ran fine in the gun.  Can't wait to go shoot taday.
