OK,
1) Shorter trigger with a " knureled face "(sp). This was to keep the trigger finger from slipping
2) Wider front sight to let the shooter align sites in varying degrees of light
3) Checkerd backstrap providing better grip and arched spring housing filling the shooter hand or grip
4) Relief cuts around the trigger, in the frame allowing easier access to the trigger.
5) Longer grip - safety spur ( keep web of hand from being caught when fired)
6) Longer hammer spur ( see results on 5)

I'll let others delve into the M16, but I do know that the A1s were restamped with A2 after they were modified to three round bursts.

Leaning towards the Kimber, but my frugality says get the SA.
I'll probalbly wind up with a RRA.

I was thinking the same thing- but Kimber made the choice easy. The SIS is THE next gun for me.

I have a Springfield 1911 with the Novak package, Springfield Champion and a Colt Defender for daily carry. Can't go wrong with any of them.
