Man it was a tough trip. I really liked the Bushmaster ACR, its very comfy. The Socom's were less appealing this outing. There was a S&W 1911 I liked except for the "DK" on the slide. There was a Les Baer that was machined nice, had all the right stuff except the finish was terrible for a $400 get let alone a $2000. Eventually I drilled it down to two Kimbers. There was a custom shop model that was exactly what I wanted for $2000 and a Tactical LE II for $1199. In the end I chose the Tactical as It was much different than anything I own and i figured I could spend the difference finishing these to projects I have going on here. there was several runners up but they lacked the correct checkering or any checkering at all.
