Two notes..
First, I was at Bill's north today with 2 Kimbers (Ultra CDP II and Custom CDP II) and a SA Mil-Spec.. about 600 rounds between the three - and except for one failure caused entirely by my lack of a firm grip, not a single malfunction.
Second, at Cabelas a few days ago, in the Gun Library at the Rogers Store, there was a nearly new SA Loaded 5" model that was around $720 or so if I remember right -- which is a darn good price for a used one with as little wear as this one had.

b If I had the cash, I'd be running for that Springfield Loaded. 3Crowns, if you can scrounge up the coin, the Loaded model is very, very, very nice. -Mark

The online gun library page for Cabelas shows it's still there -- it's $749.00 - it looked to me to be in great shape. I had just bought my mil-spec a month or so ago so it didn't make sense to me to buy another pistol so soon  b

if you go to cabela's for this one, remember Cabela used prices are HIGHLY inflated from their sell price. Getting them to drop a used gun price 20% or more is common. All they can do is say no so ask a lowball number.
