Okay, I'll admit it. Though it wasn't my first time shooting a 1911 or even this particular 1911, my last time out convinced me I need a 1911. I've been a Glock guy for a while so was considering the new 21SF to fit my craving for a .45 ACP, but now I've been bitten by the 1911 bug.
I am looking at the Kimber Warrior because my understanding is that it is essentially a Series-70 pistol without the firing pin safety. I like this. It seems like it is basically the pistol JMB intended for it to be with a few minor, mostly cosmetic additions, such as the rail and the better finish. It is pretty much what I'd try to turn a MilSpec in to if I went the same route as my bro.
I was told that there is now a Warrior II that has the firing pin safety as necessitated by stupid Commie Cali gun laws. Have I been misinformed somewhere? And if not, is there any way to tell a Warrior from a Warrior II without field stripping it? I really like the idea of a Series-70 pistol with a rail, night sights, and an ambi safety.
Regardless of which manufacture and model I get, it absolutely must have an ambi safety, a light rail, and night sights, or be cheap enough that these things can be added while still keeping the price competitive.
Thanks.
