Kimber crimson carry or Springfield Mil-Spec?
Agree. Comparing an all steel bare bones gun to an aluminum upgraded carry model with a laser. Are you looking for a carry pistol? Range gun?Kinda apples or oranges question.
They both have a manual (thumb) safety.not a fan of that manual safety though... =/
From this threadKimber vs. Springfield again?
Kimber - 1 Year Warranty
Springfield - Lifetime Warranty
Are we clear?
Kimber only advertises a 1yr, but sounds like they are standing behind their product for as long as it takes. Who knows, maybe Diocoles' experience is not the norm, but I am starting to see more and more threads about Kimber providing service after the 1 yr warrantyJohn also stated if you are the original owner of a Kimber, they will honor the warranty for life.
I forgot to ask him for that in writing... duh....:?
Back to work....sigh....![]()
Trying to salvage their reputation, perhaps?From this thread

I think that's why you've seen the "apples and oranges" comments. Personally, I see two purposes for the lower end 1911's - speaking generally, not just about Springfields:I know it goes against the grain with all the errornet experts but I always thought the Mil-Spec was a dog. By the time you replace the crappy sights and the crappy two piece barrel you could have bought a pretty nice 1911.![]()
of the two guns listedKimber crimson carry or Springfield Mil-Spec?
or maybe good customer service... but I cant be sure I have had a Kimber since 2004 and never used thier customer service centerTrying to salvage their reputation, perhaps?
Nothing wrong with either, but I agree with Brickboy.I'd look more at the Custom II/TLE series, if you want a Kimber. For the money, this line has more features than the Springfield Loaded.
Both are close in price, but the TLE gives you front strap checkering and the excellent Meprolight night sights.
I have both Springer and Kimber and although both shoot very well...the Kimber had more features for the money and is more accurate.
