Ok gang,
I'm in the market for a new gun sometime in the next couple months. I have 3 options in mind, what do you think?
1) Kimber Ultra CDP II - I've been seriously lusting for a 1911 for some time now. I couldn't really decide which one, but Kimber makes good looking guns and the CDP is small enough to carry, so there is at least a little practicality for the money you're spending.
There is a Colt that has roughly the same dimensions for at least $250-300 less than the Kimber. I wouldn't be totally opposed to the Colt, but it's just not as cool looking as the Kimber, looks matter somewhat to me. Currently I carry a S&W 642 .38 special, so the Kimber would give a little variety in my carry choice. I also own an XD45, so I already have a .45, but I don't really consider that a carry weapon, so the Kimber would serve a different purpose. Has anyone dealt with the barrel rust issue on their Kimber before? Should Kimbers be avoided because of it?
2) Remington 870 Tactical - I only have the 2 pistols currently, so this would diversify my collection a little, and probably be a better home defense choice. I have always liked shooting shotguns for fun, and this gun is just damn cool looking. Plus, its about $600-700 less than the Kimber I'm thinking about.
3) A Rifle - Don't have too many thoughts on the rifle yet, so any suggestions welcome. I don't hunt so it would really only be used for recreation and I guess if the SHTF.
TIA
