For that kind of money you could build an AR 15 with two uppers and still have money for brass and bullets.
But I think he wants a carry piece (or two)... OP, don't be this guy...

Well, well, look who's stirring the pot!
I don't buy that. I like to keep my nice things nice. However, I am willing to beat it up if I have to do so. Dropping just for the hell of it or to prove some point is just stupid.Take your favorite carry gun,hold it parallel to the ground at arms length and release.If this makes you cringe,you're carrying too nice of a gun.Many people don't realize that a carry gun,along with your SHTF rifle,has the greatest potential to get beat up because it's going to have holster wear and,ideally,be the one that's used the most out of all of your collection.JMHO
I see. In that case 2 pistols are better than 1.But I think he wants a carry piece (or two)... OP, don't be this guy...
Go with the XDs/Shield/Glk 29 Kimber 's rep has gone down in the last few yrs.
That's why I don't get why Ruger SR9cs and other SR series pistols aren't thought of more highly. Everyone who owns one loves it. The only thing I hate about them is the loaded chamber indicator.Considering the XDs had a mandatory recall last year, the Shield had a "safety warning", and Gen 4 Glocks had extraction issues; yeah compared to that Kimber's reputation has really taken a beating

Valid points, but they are ridiculously reliable and accurate. And aren't those the most important things?Agreed, but magazine disconnects suck IMO but on most guns are easy to remove. The loaded chamber indicator is kind of overkill but a lot of people like a visual safety. And the warning label....hate saying it seems to be normal nowadays.
Least it has a thumb safety and the polymer doesn't feel slick like on the XD series

I could really go either way on this. On one hand, I've bought and sold my share of cheaper guns to know that there is some value to having a single quality gun over two other guns. A single gun only needs a single holster and a single caliber of ammo to feed it. Overall cost of running a single gun could be cheaper in the long run. Plus, twice the practice with one gun is better than half the practice with each of two.
On the other hand, at $1400, you are not talking about buying one good gun vs two crap guns. You can buy two very good guns for the price of the Kimber. That kind of money would give you enough for a Remington R1 and a Glock 30 if you want to keep it to one caliber. I own a Kimber and as much as I love the thing, I don't think it's that much nicer than my Remington or Sig 1911s.
