Super excited since I have shot 1911s a bunch of times but never owned one

Nice!

Kimber 1911s are great pistols.
I had a Tatical Ultra II for a while but I gave it to my Dad.
It was a great gun but I didn't like the way it recoiled.

This has a aluminum frame so I'm a bit worried about the recoil. But it's a carry gun and wont be shot a lot (except to stay proficient) and hopefully never need to use it for its intended purpose.

I've got a Springfield Armory Lightweight Champion Operator which has an aluminum frame and recoil is very manageable. This isn't mine but gives you an idea of what it looks like.
