I know Kimber is up there as far as quality but I can not afford the price tag that comes with them.

Save your money. I wouldn't call Kimber a quality gun any day. They used to be great, but their QC has declined. 2 of the 3 Kimbers I've owned had issues right out of the box. The coolest looking gun that I've ever owned, the Kimber Ultra Raptor, continuously failed to return to battery. I tried everything that I could to get it to run right, I sent it back to Kimber, and the issue never went away. It would happen 2-3 times per mag. I hated to get rid of that gun, because I really liked it a lot, but it was terrible.
Anyways, maybe check out a Ruger 1911. They are pretty decent for the money. Sig is nice as well. Springfields are great.
For a non 1911 .45 carry gun, check out the Springfield XDs. It is a great gun as well.
