Safariman,
I do think that the 10MM is one of the best trail guns available. It's superior to the venerable .357 Mag for bear defense.
I wouldn't turn my head to a good deal on a 1911A1-type 10MM deal.
Next time I come across a smokin deal on one, I will PM you. I just snagged a neat little commander sized 45ACP with MAster series Rosewood lazergrips real cheap, more gun show Table fodder. Deals come along when one looks diligently.
