@graveler01 I own 2 Kimbers....the Eclipse 45 and a Stainless target II 9mm. Both have functioned perfectly. I really like them......2 of my brothers own Kimbers also and they love them too. I can't speak for the Smith but I'd be willing to bet that it's a quality piece.
I was in Wally World and they had boxes of .45ACP 230gr. hardball for $85 and I mean 250 rounds Remington. Good for routine practice AND to generate brass for future reloading. If you reload in NYC they count your freaking PRIMERS! I would have a progressive loader anyway to save time.
Nice shooting sir. I have this exact same pistol. And to second the response to Uchahi, this was my first 1911 and I love it. probably 300-400 rounds through mine and not a single jam, malfunction, stovepipe, nothing. Flawless.
I was really concentrating....probably a little too much. As the group got better it was tougher for me to steady my aim.....I guess I just flinched a little.
Yes I think this is an excellent first 1911. My Kimber is an excellent shooter. It's a little picky about magazines but I found that good aftermarket mags work great. 3 people in my family have Kimbers.....except for some minor feeding issues early on they have all been great pistols.
great shooting...i own a kimber TLE2, amazing gun love it.
nice video...

do you shoot best with a 1911?

I do shoot the 1911 better than my other pistols. I can hold my own with my Glocks but the Kimber just plain shoots.

Thank you...I do enjoy shooting those Kimbers. I'm with you on the hand loads. For what ammo costs these days hand loading for the 45 acp is a must.

No sir, the group was shot standing with a 2 handed grip.

Excellent video, my good sir. Wait, so what do you mean by "you threw the 5th shot"?

Excellent shooting. Everyone of those would have been a kill shot. Nice video. Would you suggest this 1911 as a good one for a first buy?
