Springfield vs Kimber

[Padraig]

Find a Combat Commander- preferrably a Series 70. With the pre-firing pin block. Or a very early Series 80. That pistol will make the Springfield or Kimber look like a farm implement. It's slightly larger, but that's a good thing. The sight radius on that short slide is all but useless. And that caliber in a small handgun can be tough to get a good grip on.

Combat Commander, not Commander. Longer grip on the latter.

If you really want a small pistol, look for the Officer's version.

Can't go wrong with a light weight Officer's Model. My favorite carry gun.
