I'm new to the forum and been shooting for a few years now and I'm really starting to get into it. I've shot paper targets and bowling pins. Latley if been shooting the plates at the local gun club, shooting speed fire (trying) I've been using a kimber covert ultra II 45 ( my carry piece ) and a beretta 92 fs 9 mm. The kimber is fun but it has the 3" barrel and I don't want to build it up because it's my carry piece. I would like to purchase an STI or full size Kimber that I can build up or buy something that has some modifications . I would like to spend around $800.00. Is that possible? I would like to get some imput to see if I'm heading down the right path. Thanks
