I've got a Kimber TLE II & Colt Commander 80 series both are good shooting but I tend to shoot and carry the Kimber more due to the night sights and I like the full size models. I've seen Kimbers at the gun shows for around $700 - $1000 depending on the model. I like the SIS line of pistols but the extra $$$ for the three letter slide serrations - more mags. Just my 2ct
