My granddad qualified as a pistol marksman in 1973. Was then put on a professional hand gun team and taught everything you could possibly think of that was even remotely related to pistol marksmanship. He retired a Buck Sergeant he has been to a lot of places in the military, always carrying a Colt .45. But when he got back to the states and started experimenting his favorite became Kimber. He recommended to me a Kimber .45 custom II. But any of their full sized hand guns sound great from the rumors I hear. This company started producing in 1996 but quickly became popular pretty quickly because of their quality.

As for the M-14.. No idea lol

Some dude named Trent had a Kimber .45 this last summer. I didn't like the look of it (it barely resembled the Colt 1911). Had a rubberized hand grip and all that.

You've seen my replica 1911, right? Silver plated with Mother of Pearl custom hand grips - a Llama .22LR :

RIA 1911 tactical/Springfield GI 1911/Kimber/FN/SIG/Para/ All have 1911's in all sorts of calibers. I owned a RIA 1911 and was a damn good shooting pistol. Springfield GI 1911 is the next in line for cheaper hard working pistol. The others are all gun porn, I talked to some ATF agents that had kimber's (this is in NC) they had lots of problems with the kimber custom 2's and went to SIG. Now on to the M-14 , m-21, Socom 14. These guns for some reason cost a arm and a leg, Like most rifles chambered in .308 (for example G3, FAL) your going to spend anywhere from $1200-$2000 on a decent semi auto .308 caliber rifle. If you find a legit m-14 under $1000 then take it to a gun smith and have them check it out.
