Any thoughts?

Save up and get the Kimber. More features and better quality. I had a GI and the sights were pitiful. I was about to spend $150 to change then when I thought to consign the gun and add the $150 to purchase a new Kimber TLE II. It was definitely a good decision. The Kimber shoots and functions much better and the sights a perfect. Plus the checkering on the back strap is another great upgrade.

Any thoughts on the Para Slim Hawg? Not that I'm against the Kimber, I have a full size Kimber and love it, but I always like to try something different

I was at the range/gun shop this morning and they had a Kimber Ultra Carry II stainless that I just couldn't pass up. They allowed what I had paid for a .40 Sigma on a trade, took $20 off the price, added a extra mag and threw in a box of Blazer Brass and free range time.
