Kimber Gold Combat 2 Vs Springfield TRP

Well I'm sure everyone is tired of 1911 vs. 1911 threads but both of these guns are similarly priced and have similar features.

Im leaning towards the springer atm, a lot of that reason is because i have heard too many horror stories about the Kimber Customer service and nothing but great things about Springfield's.

I had a run in with Kimber's customer service a few months ago. In the end they wound up taking care of the issue and redeemed themselves. In retrospect it was almost like the guy I worked with was just having a bad day the first time we spoke.

Springfield's customer service has been first rate at every time I have spoken to them, however. I just spoke with Deb at the custom shop on Friday and she couldn't be nicer to work with.

Personally, I'd lean toward the TRP even though I own a very nice early Kimber. My bias comes from a dislike of Kimber's Series II firing-pin block but, that may not be a significant issue to you. My only caution on the TRP is the sights. For a couple years, it seems like nearly every TRP I came across had a tendency to shoot low and needed a taller rear-sight. I've been told this issue has long since been resolved.
