Visually the Kimber looks nice, but that beaver tail looks like it would snag, especially in a pocket carry.
At the Gettysburg Gun Show today I got to handle all 3 pistols, and the Glock 43x was the most comfortable. The Hellcat's trigger was unique. (Saying it nicely) The vendor described it accurately. Like a switch being activated.
43x is in my future.

Now that I'm HQL'd I've started looking at modern pistols. Considering Sig 365, but I saw a CZ Rami online for just a liitle too much money, and it's a hammer gun with de-cocker, and it's CZ too! So that one is somewhere in the pipeline.
As someone here believes, if it's Czech and military, it's cool! I have to agree.

If you find one available, grab it, they aren't making any more of them.
The RAMI was discontinued, probably because of the trend toward little, plastic, striker fired guns.
Not bashing them, but I don't think its necessary for every single maker to jump on the same bandwagon.

I just bought a 43X frame to hang my G48 slide onto. 43Xs handle very well. Since I've already gone ahead and cut and mounted a red dot on it, the choice was an easy one.

I was curious what the differences were. Found this:
The only true difference between the G43X and G48 is the length of the slide.
Is that not true?

Yep. Right now, my 48 resides on a G43 frame. Not nearly as shootable as a 43X frame.

Yeah, it's on the way.
I have a thing for all-metal guns. Pretty sure they're not as pleasant to carry around, but for some reason, Glocks leave me cold. I might develop a different attitude if I lived somewhere where carrying legally would be an option.

Even with the extended baseplate? Thought the extra rounds would make balance similar.
Nearly everything I buy I assume I may one day carry. Especially recently when we watched society collapse with the goverment`s permission. Every gun has a holster or a strap.

The X frame makes it handle a bit more like a 19

You’ll never chase rust on a polymer frame.

The frame is alloy and I believe the slide is stainless steel, so...
I like the balance better with a metal frame.

By the time you load them, there probably isn't a whole lot of difference you can feel on your hip/belt/whatever.
I don't think it is that big of a deal, especially if you're not chasing a suspect, fleeing a T rex, or break-dancing like the FBI(?) agent that lost his on the dance floor.

I’ll never argue personal preference. There is much I like about steel frames. There is also much I like about some polymer frames. But the debate ends up being another “9 vs 45”.The frame is alloy and I believe the slide is stainless steel, so...
I like the balance better with a metal frame.
The only winner of which… is the one who sticks to their guns and doesn’t change on someone else’s say so.
