Again, I really do appreciate all the posts as I sort this out. Springfield in general is high on my list.
Also, I didn't intentionally group Kimber and Taurus together as a slam to either one or to imply that they are at the same level. Whatever you have at the time of need is better than not having anything. Better can be subjective. Preference is still part of freedom. Proven is what I'm after along with function and form.
The Kimber Compact Carry series was on my radar but kind of fell off but I'm trying to warm up to Kimber again. Yes they are very fine weapons and if you have one, great.
If I can find what I'm looking for this weekend, then it may be a done deal. If not, then online I go for an FFL transfer. There's another gun show coming to Fort Wayne at the end of the month but small gun shows seem overpriced to me and they don't seem to eager to deal.
