I have never bought a civilian handgun. I have shot several, but never a 1911. I am considering buying a Springfield Operator, or possibly a Kimber Tactical II.
My question is, should I track down each individual pistol and try and rent one to shoot? or is it enough to just try the 1911 platform and if I like it just go off of specs and showroom feel from there?
I am just weary of buying something so expensive before trying it out, and I know that it may be difficult to find the exact gun to be able to rent and test fire.
