Well, I started this thread, and now by gum I'm going to end it. I went with a Kimber Classic Custom! I felt a weeeee bit like a traitor to Colt, but I'm getting past it. I'll just need one of you Kimber guys to hold my hand and tell me I'm gonna be okay every once in a while. Well, at least tell me I'm a man even though my .45 has a girly swooshy logo on the side, okay? Thanks a bunch to all who responded.
