I like this gun and almost bought one. The thing that really kills it is it’s not allowed in USPSA Single Stack because of the slide ports.

I picked up a used Kimber TLE/RL II for about half of this and that feels like a much better decision. I think I still like my RIA’s more, though; they’re really hard to beat on the cost-to-perfomance ratio (and they don’t have Kimber’s goofy sort-of-series-80 firing pin block).
