I've finally saved up enough cash to buy a .45..... finally. I'm trying to decide between a Kimber Custom II and the Springfield Armory Loaded. Anyone know a lot about 1911s?

SA is the way to go...I have seen em run forever
kimber and colts quality have really gone down in the past few years....the kimbers/colts I have seem/held/shot have felt flimsy and poorly put together
I have heard mixed reviews about colts/kimber 1911s but nothing but good things when it comes to the SA series of 1911s....my roommate has "loaded" 1911 and loves it to death, I have the "GI"
On edit: kimbers are also $$$$$$$

I'm going to get an SA, probably a loaded, but if they have a GI or Mil-Spec for cheap enough, I might go that way too.. A friend of mine has the loaded in stainless and loves it, I'm just kinda partial to the parkerized finish.

I got a SA loaded, and they had one that's parkerized. Here it is right beside my friends stainless one. I'd say they're 99% identical, just the recoil spring on his is the two peice and mine isn't.
Edit: Apparently the scratches on the take-down levers on each gun really really shows up in all my pics. Looking at either gun you can hardly see them.. weird.

45's are nice ... But a good 10mm is ok too ... I think I will stick with a little pocket .357 tho ... Can be loaded as hot or mild as you want ...
