I bought a Kimber Eclipse Target II two years ago. It went into the safe and I haven't shot it yet. I looked at probably fifteen different .45's from a basic $600 model to a $3500 Wilson Custom. The Eclipse II felt the best in my hand.
I have a Colt Stainless Steel officers. Even with seven rounds, one in the tube six in the magazine the gun is one heavy piece of metal (34 oz) for its size. Colt makes a light weight officers (24oz) and there is a sizable difference in weight between them.
The only thing with my officers is it only likes FMJ or SWC lead. It will feed hollow points but there is a questionable feel to the feed. It feeds them but not as smoothly as they could be. Not something you would like to have happen if you are using the gun as a self defense weapon. I've been thinking of having a local gunsmith that only deals with 1911's look at it in the near future to correct that issue.
