For what it's worth, that's a heck of a good price for that pistol. I would be all over that.

I currently own a Kimber stainless target in .45 that probably has a good 2000 rounds through it. The only problem I have ever encountered were due to a bad magazine (not Kimber, mind you) that wouldn't feed properly.

Kimber uses CNC technology to machine their parts to very tight tolerances. The action is smooth, the weapon is accurate and reliable, and has earned a reputation for being among the best factory .45s you can buy.

The beauty of the cdp is that it's much more carry friendly than a full size 1911. That 1/2" in the Pro CDP makes a big difference.

Lastly, if I may be so bold, I also recommend fitting the pistol with a set of "Gunner grips," designed by the late Rob Simonich. There is, in my opinion, no better, more secure grip on the market for a 1911.
