My 45 is a Kimber Custom Shop Gold Combat:stainless which I love.

I want another 1911. What I may do is buy a Sig GRS and send it to Matt McLearn (the shooter/gunsmith who helped develop it) for some custom work. This is, predictably, a way off though.

I always wanted a 1911 but, since I picked up my buddy's Jardine custom Colt series 80, I can't pick up a stock 1911 without feeling like something's lacking. Some day when I have a couple of grand to spare I'll get one.
My 9mm is my BHP Mark I purchased new in 1987. It's had the ramp polished, a reliability job, mag safety removal and a decent #5.5 trigger job. Cosmetically it's stock and, with 15 and 17rd South African/ Argentine military mags, it's a lot of fun to shoot.
For carry I prefer my Glock 23 with the Glock 22 or 23 Hi-Caps. I like .45 but It's better to have 15 rounds of .40 than 8 rounds of .45. And the 9mm seems a little under powered.

But, truthfully, any gun will do if you will do.
