I own a TLE II.  While I have not experienced any problems with mine I have heard other complaints regarding the aluminum framed Tactical.  The main complaint is that the farme will show wear in the form of gouges just below the feed-ramp due to the magazine follower digging into the frame.  Over time this may become a reliability issue or if anything else, a nuisance.  Ragardless, most people go with Wilson 47D's or other reliable plastic-follower mag designs, which would cure this problem.  Other than that I would be comfortable with either or (TLE/Tactical).  Hopefully someone else will respond that has a Tactical to give more insight on your question.  I hope this helps and have a feastful Thanksgiving!

Great gun!  See the one in the middle


I have 2 Kimbers with the aluminum frames.   Just make sure you don't use mags with split metal followers


I use wilson 47d's exclusively
