Just handled the new SIS at several different stores during the last week. It is the best balancing and feeling pistol I have held...BUT...... the SIS letters engraved in the slide to provide grip for cocking the gun look real fancy and are attractive but totally useless for providing grip to cock it with. I would like to have one but I can't live with the slide slipping through my hand when I try to cock it. Kimber needs to put usable serrations on the slide. It would then be a superb 1911 pistols. I really want one of them but the SIS letters do not provide any gripping ability on the slide. The store clerk said to "GRIP IT". I can't get enough grip to reasonably hold it to cock it. Sorry Kimber but you have goofed on this one feature of this otherwise superb pistol. You need to get busy correcting this weakness and you will have a top of the line pistol.
Anyone else tried this pistol and have opinions on it?
