Thats the one.
Good choice on the pistol too.
As far as changing your springs you can probably hold off on that for a while seeing how Kimber doesn't consider there pistols "broken in" until 900-1000 rnds.
I have 2500 + rounds through my TLE and I have yet to have any malfunctions with it.
Pay close attention to your Wilson Mags a few friends of mine and I have personally experienced malfunctions due to wilson mags. I don't know if wilson has fixed this or not but there mag springs were to weak. B/C of this we have all converted to the Chip McCormick Power mags (8 rounders). None of us has had a mag related malfunction since.
As far as getting front strap checkering done. Try shooting a 1911 with front strap checkering before you purchase it (if you can) some people do not like front strap checkering. Another "test" you can do is to put skate board "grip" tape on the front strap of the weapon. If you like it you will probably like front strap checkering but if you don't you just saved yourself the price of a frame.
Lastly I have a Springfield Champion (4 inch barrel) and a Kimber TLE (5 inch barrel) I carried the Champion for about 2 years, and have been carrying my TLE for about a year now. If anything I think I shoot faster with my Champion for some reason. I have yet to put it on a timer but I just feel faster with the Champion.
Psywar1-0 and QS I will be curious which one shoots faster. Please let me know.
