Just a few points:
I've had several steel and several alloy 1911s. I honestly don't think the recoil is noteworthy, but the weight certainly is.
I have a Kimber Ultra Carry (no ramped barrel, bought used). Someone (prior owner or 'smith) had sanded the ramp to ensure proper feeding. However, this sanding removed the hard anodizing, and subsequently the feed ramp was damaged by either mag followers and/or HP ammo.
I read this thread

and after talking with Chuck, sent the frame in to Rogers Precision. While he had it, I asked him to Dura-Coat the frame black.
It was back in short order, looks great and works perfectly. Chuck does absolutely beautiful work.
A set of rosewood grips later, it is my poor man's Ultra CDP clone.
BTW, later Kimber Ultra Carry models have a ramped barrel.
