There's one for sale in the EE.
Kimber quit making 10mm, so did Dan Wesson. I have an older Delta Elite, and I like it. The recoil is somewhat heavier than a 45, but I don't notice it much. I also have a Glock 20, and it took me a long time to get used to it. Now, I think the Glock is more of a go to gun than the Colt.
If you're really serious about a 10mm, Armco can convert a 40 caliber STI Ranger for you. They had one for sale last year, so someone out there can likely tell you how well it worked out.

Shot a 10mm Delta Elite when they first came out, long ago. It was just a stock 1911 in a different chambering. A Colt rep(surrounded by gussied up pin and IPSC pistols.)provided the pistol and the Norma ammo(only ammo there was then). Felt recoil was very much like a hot .45 load. Wouldn't have stopped using my .45 for a 10mm.
Bren Tens are long gone.

I have never heard that Kimber stopped making 10mm, but they are still very available (and listed on their site)
I just recently sold my Kim 10mm and have to say it was a terrific gun. I sold it to get a 610 smith.
If you are searching for one, I know Roger at Shooterschoice can get you one.

I've Got A S&W 1006
I just bought a S&W 1006 from another CGN'er(Billy the Kid-thanks man
) and I love it!!! Boom, boom, boom!!!! Runs like a Swiss watch and built like a tank.

From what I can discover the 1911 works best in it's origional goverment length, it was designed to be a 45 ACP gun and is best in that round, there are lots of parts for a 1911 and it could be converted to many different rounds from 22LR up to 50GI, the 45 ACP round is a good round, the 10 MM was rejected due to too much kick and may at some point could be rare the 40S&W was to replace it and could be a better choice, the 45 ACP is a more mild round in terms of damage to the gun and could be a better choice. The 45ACP operates at less than 17,000 PSI where the 9MM, 40S&W, the 10MM work closer to 34,000 PSI. The 45 ACP is a big heavy slow bullet that gives the required punch while the lighter bullets travel much faster to give the same punch.
I guess my other thought is we, as Canadians, will likely never have legal concealed carry(in my lifetime), if we did we would carry for a hell of a long time till we needed to defend ourselves against a bad person, or at least I would, carrying a handgun is not that easy, there are nice little rules like banishing a hand gun or actually letting someone see the concealed gun by accident, of course shooting someone who proved to be a good person is a bad thing. Basically what I'm trying to say is we are not Americans. Our guns are likely only to be used to shoot paper, how much power do we really need? I call it too much Testertosa!

Muzzle energy is the product of half the mass of the bullet and the square of its velocity. Therefore, an increase in mass results in a linear increase in muzzle energy but an increase in velocity will result in an exponential incease in muzzle energy. Give me light & fast over heavy & slow any day.
