In my opinion, apparently. In yours, apparently not. I respect your opinion to interpret posts as you deem. Please respect mine.

I own two. Not a single complaint.
Of the two, I'd hedge towards the TLE. Though I suspect you'd be pleased with either.
Note, I did not disparge any other brand of 1911. I did not repeat any hearsay negatives against another manufacture or report any negative informatin about brands I've personally observed, as they are truly irrelevent.

I certainly appreciate your feedback and you not bashing other manufacturers. I'm looking for personal experiences and not internet hear say. Thanks for sticking to the facts.

I own a TLE II and love it. No FTFs, FTEs, etc., just perfect performance in all the ammo I've fed it. The night sights and front strap checkering are nice extras.

The lower end Kimbers shoot as well as anything in their price range. Would they be better quality if they used the crappy two piece barrel that SA uses.

How was I not respecting your opinion? Just didn't see a lot of Kimber bashing that's all. I have no problem with Kimber.

1) There aren't any Kimber haters in this thread. The only negative comment was from Samuse and he has a negative comment for everything.
2) I have two Kimbers and don't love them.
3) You spelled "information" wrong.

That is probably one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read...
Ignore people that are obviously misinformed or just want to run their mouths on the subject... Out of the original two you mentioned I would go with the TLE Pro...

That's why you see so many people using Kimber small parts when they upgrade their guns.

That is also why there are two guys on here that own over 50 1911's each, and they both carry a Kimber daily... Nuff said...
