I will say I am a fan of the 10mm and have owned about all them over the years: Delta Elites, Dan Wessons, custom Caspian, Custom Colt, ugly POS Glock 20, etc. but I currently have two Kimber 10mm's that I have to say are the best 1911's I have owned: Swartz firing pin safety system instead of the horrid 80-Series system, ramped barrel, checkered front strap, just awesome quality on the machine work and perfect finish. Best buy on the market IMHO.
