I've been shooting the new Springfield G.I. with 4" alot recently and I'm thinking very seriously about getting another 1911. Something in the 1k range. It will be used heavily (1k rounds a month) and will be kept in the night stand for anyone stupid enough to come into my house uninvited.
The MC operator is a nice looking piece, but I'm pretty sure that it's made in Brazil and I'd really rather buy American made products.
I really like the looks of the Kimber raptor II, however, the warrior has a light rail. Uber liberal california does not allow the desert warrior, so that is out of the running.
I like the idea of the .22 conversion that kimber sells as 45 acp gets expensive and I dont have reloading gear yet.
What do you guys think? How handy is the light rail? Sure, it looks cool, but how tactical is it to try and sneak up on a bad guy in my house with a bright ass light in their face? What weapon would you choose if you were in my place?
