They're just another overpriced 1911-A1 pistol. Yes, they're nice. But a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec will do the job quite well. And the Novak sight system is cool. But You have to use that system period. You can't switch to Mepro-lights or Trijicon sights.

And to answer your question. YES. It is the civilian version of of the Pistol that the US Marine SOC is using. (And here's a secret, a 1911-A1 is a 1911-A1.)
I'm a little prejudice as I have a Kimber Pro-Carry. I've also owned a Springfield Armory Mil Spec Operator, and a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec. I've shot Colt,Norinco, Auto-Ordance, Charles Daley, Para Ordance , and Dan Wesson 1911A1's. And while you can say a 1911 is 1911 dollar for dollar Kimber is the best out of the box for the money IMO. No need for after market hammers, beaver tails, springs, sight work, throating, polishing or fitting.
