The eternal quest for the lighter 1911 does come at a price.

An alloy frame ramp can withstand a lifetime of round-ball feedings, but if the end product user insists on relegating the weapon to a jacketed hollow point diet, then this is the eventual disease.

You know it. We know it. Kimber knows it. The plastic gun makers know it.

If a good and nobly designed plastic/alloy gun is constructed with steel slide rail inserts, any stand-up manufacturer would be better served to make the gun with a steel ramp insert as well.

Alas, very few pistoleers are truly aware of such a detail, and the capitalist desire for a manufacturer's profit supersedes the obligation for creating a durable product.
