So my carry gun is a Para Ordinance 1911. It's a nice gun, first handgun I ever purchased and it's never given me one bit of trouble, which I love it for. Here's the thing: I've always wanted a kimber.


My issues:

1. I prefer to carry the 1911, not my beretta
2. There isn't much of a point in owning 2 almost identical guns (i think)
3. I've kinda always had the "never sell, only buy more" attitude (especially w/ my first handgun ever purchased)
4. I'd have a hard time frequently carrying a $1100 gun (1 scratch would make me ANGRY)
4. I really, really want a kimber, haha.

So! What would you guys do? Trade the Para for a kimber? Forget the kimber and keep the para because it's never given me any problems? Keep carrying the para, letting the finish wear off, then buy a kimber as the "prettier" 1911?

save your gun, buy a new one. for sure.
