Now, I'm going to preface this with the fact I know this is going to be a dumb question, BUT, what is the general consensus for a carry 1911; the STI Shadow or Escort 3.0, vs a Kimber Ultra Carry II.

I already own the Kimber, and have made some mods to it; night sights, and new grips. I like it, it's reliable; I've never had any of the issues associated with a 3" 1911. However, I hear such wonderful things about STI; better trigger, smoother, and more accurate. Since NY now has all this BS starting in April, I'm limiting myself to guns that 'naturally' hold 7 rounds, just to avoid issues with legalities for the time being(probably going to invest in a Shield this Fall as well). I've been carrying the UC for years, and I like it, but I'm open to the possibility of 'better.'

And I don't want this to become a Kimber bashing thread.
