I couldn't be happier. Great pistol, quality magazines and a lifetime warranty.

Their warrenty is voided if you even take the grips off.

True it's a 1911 anyways so it's not like it's going to beak very easily.

True. Given that, why not stand behind your product even further. I don't know I do t think it would be a deal breaker for me, but when I knew the gun I was buying HAD a lifetime warranty it was a deal sealer for me.
If you use your firearms there's a chance that something can go wrong so it's good to know that the manufacturer will always stand behind it within reason.

I can't speak for the warranty on Sig or Kimber, but if you're looking for a top quality 1911 with outstanding customer service and a lifetime warranty you should really check out STI. The following is part of STI's answer to a warranty question in the FAQ section of their website:

"We stand behind our products and if you EVER have a problem with an STI, we are going to make sure to take good care of you! The STI warranty covers the product- not the original purchaser so even if you purchase it used, we will still warranty our work."

As the happy owner of a number of their pistols I have always been very impressed with their products and their people.

They cover used guns, that's nice.
