Sorry for the slight threadjack, but lately I've really been looking at 1911's lately and wanted some opinions.

I will primarily be using it for carry and some target shooting. I've been leaning towards the Kimber pro carry II, but can't decide between aluminum or steel frame. My concern is there being too much kick on the aluminum one. I have a .357 snub ultra light revolver that that is just too much kick as a comparison. On the other hand 12 guages and .30 06 type rifles dont bother me at all.

Any reccomendations in the 4 inch barrel range in a quality brand? I don't have a problem spending $800-1000 or so if i feel I'm getting a good firearm.

Thanks
