Who has a Colt Series 80 1911?

I dont know...seems hit and miss on the Colts...

I'm leaning towards a Kimber now I'm pretty sure

As a Colt guy i’m gonna tell you to seriously look at Dan Wessons.

I've got a Kimber and a DW.
Both jam on me, but then, I'm left handed.

I’m trying to stay under $1000

Besides I saw a nice new Kimber today that had TFX Sights on it that I really wanted bad.

Kimber with TFX sights would be pretty awesome.

Why has OP not posted pics of his new Kimber 1911 with TFX sights?

Limited Production for sure.

Kimber probably has the price/value market right now in some of their models. In that price range, I’d really consider a Springer loaded operator, though.

Springfield, Ruger, SIG, STI, Kimber - all good 1911 choices, as is Colt. My advice is still to avoid the Series 80 and go with the Series 70 or one of the alternatives with that trigger design.

I bought my Series 80 stainless 1911 in the early 80's soon after they made it to the market. It has thousands of rounds without any after market parts except a full length guide rod. The guide rod never proved to make any difference but I don't see any reason to remove it. The only real advantage is I can pull the whole slide assembly off without field stripping to replace it with my 22 conversion at the range. The only part I have ever needed to replace was the slide stop because I lowered it on an empty chamber too many times. That is something I no longer do with any firearm!
