I'm considering a 10mm long slide 1911. 

First thing I need to mention is that I'm left handed, so I need an ambi safety.  That cuts out the Kimber and the Dan Wesson, since they don't come from the factory with an ambi.  I'm also a bit snobbish when it comes to 1911s with bull barrels rather than bushings...

You'll be delighted to know that you are mistaken about Dan Wesson here.  True, the Bruin does not have an ambi safety, but the new Kodiak does!  And what's more, it has a bushing-less bull barrel.  It might be the perfect gun for you.  I just ordered one with the tri-tone finish, which I think is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't be more excited to get the thing.
