I have been toying around with the idea of getting a 1911. It is the most comfortable pistol to me that I have yet to shoot. I am really leaning towards a Kimber Custom II Target in stainless. Kimbers seem to be the best value for the money around and I generally like to get the right piece of equipment once.
In addition to fulfilling its role as a range queen I would like to be able to use this for an occasional IPSC match. There are local matches that are fairly frequent and I think it would be a nice change of pace from standing on the firing line making holes in paper. My understanding is that I would be best placed in single stack and that I could be fairly competitive.
This was all fairly settled in my head today until I walked into my local shop and he pulled out a beautiful bull barrel stainless Caspian. It is used and only about a hundred bucks more than the Kimber would be. Would this pistol be acceptable for my inteded use. I was just worried that not being a production pistol it would put me into open class or something
