I still would like the Warrior but I seriously can't stand rail on 1911s.

Do any of you folks know if Kimber has plans for non-railed Warriors?

not likely
its modeled after the the gun RECON gets and they have been adding a rail to their 1911s

my opinion

Maverick,

I am with you on this. If it is ever offered without the rail, I am all over it.

Find a used Series I and upgrade the sights.  You'll only be spending about $700 - $800, compared to $1050 for a Warrior.  I realize there are some subtle differences, like finish, but I'll give you an example.  I picked up an old Custom Classic, put on some tritium A/0 24/7 tritium sights, a Wilson Bulletproof Extractor, a Wilson ejector, a GunRunners guide rod and Ed Brown spring plug, a Kings match bushing, and an Ed Brown beavertail.  It's a much better gun than the Warrior, and it cost me about $900 after that gun and parts.

I concur, although my own taste is for Heinie's.

Me too, but I wanted to try something different, and the price was cheap.  I'll probably switch to Heinies here soon.

Look for a 25th Anniversary Model. They have the original Series I design...but no NS's and such.

No rail and no nutter butter grips and I'll take one, too.

No, it's not. It is a civilian version of the ICQB pistol issued to a USMC unit attached to USSOCOM.



+1 To say "modeled after" is correct, but it is MCSOCOM, DET 1 - a part of USSOCOM
