![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I'll say this....Oh yeah and I am biased. I love Glocks. I have owned a few different 1911's but I have always wanted a kimber. So I went to the range a couple of weeks ago and borrowed a buddies Kimber Custom TLE II. I took my beloved Glock 21 duty weapon with me and decided to put them both through the test. Results: Kimber: Great shooter, felt recoil not bad, accurate on slow fire: everything in the X ring at 25 yards, rapid fire good: everything in tight groups, ran about 200 rounds through it, Pretty good weapon OK to shoot as far as comfort etc. Glock 21: GReat Shooter, felt recoil minimal: much less than Kimber, accurate on slow fire: everything in X ring at 25 yards, rapid fire excellent: much easier followup shots than Kimber, ran about 300 rounds through it, Great Weapon very comfortable to shoot. I will preface this with: I have owned two 1911's and have shot a fair amount with them. I have owned many Glocks and shoot extensively with them. So that being said I will obviously prefer them. But after shooting them side by side I will never own a Kimber my dream is over. My Glock shot just was well in my hand, I will never notice if it fires 4 inch groups at 25 yards rather than 2 inch groups. The Glock is much more comfortable in the hand, my hand gets chewed up some when shooting 1911's. My Glock had much less felt recoil, and much better rapid fire sight acquisition. My Glock is less than half the cost. And almost double the capacity and still weighs less. In my mind why spend so much on something that loses in so many categories, unless you never actually use it. My thoughts.
