It looks like your Mainspring Housing has that same defect in the bottom surface that mine does. Same exact place.

I just ordered a new alloy MSH from Fusion Firearms that matches the rest of the metalwork on the Raptor. Kimber should have used this one.

When I found out the original was was plastic, I almost wanted to give the gun back. almost but like you almost want to get rid of your 'to die for' girlfriend just because she has an ugly freckle where you can't see it unless you really look!

Colt Combat commander, Para P-13, Wilson or Kimber but always 1911 style in 45 sends the very best.

 

[Drunkbeater]

I carry a Kimber.

In the military, I know that as long as they are special forces, they can carry a 1911 if they wish.

I don't know about other police departments, but any officer with SLCPD can choose any handgun they want.

Kimber Tactical Custom HD II, currently adorned with aftermarket grips...

Carry a Para Warthog in a Cleveland holster..
Great weapon. Have the Crossbreed but I like the Cleveland better as it has more adjustments points and is 1/2 the price..

I carry a citadel 1911 officer for edc. In a iwb tuckable Henry Holster. Has been a flawless operator since new. 2500-3000 rounds later it will still throw them as fast as I can pull the trigger. And the accuracy Is amazing. Best part its a $600 new and rocks out of the box!

 

[dumpo60]

I carry a crimson ultra carry II in a crossbreed and a Super carry Pro HD in a Milt Sparks. Love both of them.

 

[S&W645]

This is my answer.Link RemovedWednesday I'll be picking up a Sig Sauer C3 Revolution in .45.

 

[Old Zebra]

For concealed carry, I prefer my 9mm Colt New Agent with Crimson Trace grips, in an OWB holster.

 

[fudo]

Colt Government Model, Commander, New Agent, all .45ACP.

 

[Patch Delta]

Colt 1911 LW Commander Wiley Clapp.

I love 1911s however I'm not comfortable carrying one chambered and cocked and I'm also not comfortable carrying a pistol I need to cock before I shoot. That is one reason I went with the Beretta PX4 Compact I carry now. It's DA/SA so there's virtually no chance I'll get an accidental discharge. I've always owned and shot revolvers so shooting DA isn't a problem.

I carry a kimber compact cdp,very good weight and easy to conceal as it has a 4inch barrel and shorter grip with the melted frame for smooth draw.
