[Guest 153blue]

Had one--a CDP II Compact w/ internal extractor. Worst $1000 spent in the history of mankind...

Proud owner and faithful carrier of a Wilsoned-up Kimber Compact, series I, internal extractor. Mine is all steel, though.

Pretty much the exact opposite opinion of Deerslayer . . . Maybe I got lucky.

ive never owned a 1911 before, do the compacts used the same aftermarket parts as the fullsize? is there a way i could buy something like an magwell or a mag sleeve adapter to use full size mags?

[Guest 153blue]

ok i found out that the gun is the version before the Kimber compact stainless II. cept it is aluminum. anyone know the value of this. i am really wantin a 1911, should i pass on this and find a fullsize?

[Guest Halfpint]

Fullsize and Compact guns take different parts, dependent on frame size. "Full-size frames take X parts, compact frames take Y parts" kinda thing.

But yes, they do make sleeves, base-pads, and other stuff to allow you to use a full-size mag in a compact gun.

i read that they're kinda rare? anyone know they value for it?

[Guest 153blue]

nvm, went and got a colt gold cup national match

[Guest cjr]

WOW,

Colt makes a serious side arm but HK the most BAD A$$ Side arm money can buy.IMO.

[Guest 153blue]

you got that right. I looove HK's. but recently i've been lusting for a 1911, i got a good deal on a trade today and ended up with a SS Colt National Match. haven't got to put any rounds through it yet. but it feels solid, the trigger pull is pretty crisp, the slide is as tight as a nun on the frame.

I have the Compact Custom and Compact Aluminum and both are "keepers" for me. I would pick up a Compact Aluminum Stainless if I had a chance.
