I love 1911s (obviously), but I want to get another 10mm that is metal framed and not plastic. I thought maybe I should try and branch out and look at the p220 Legion 10mm. Anyone know anything about the P220 10mm and how it feels compared to a traditional government sized 1911? Thanks!
The thumb safety on the P220 SAO models is terrible. It is too stiff, too narrow, and incorrectly placed for shooting with your thumb on it like you would with a 1911.
 
I'm still looking for a (new/like-new) Colt Delta Elite as a 1911 10mm with a rail, but I was able to find a new Dan Wesson Specialist as my railed 1911 10mm shooter. My 10mm Kimber Rapide 1911 is great and handles 10mm just as well, but the rail w/ wml give a 10mm 1911 some added "heft" for handling hot "1cm" loads. As previously mentioned, the SIG P220 Legion in 10mm w/ it's 5" barrel and all metal build is a beast. I was fortunate to purchase one of the very first models released that have the factory optics ready slide, and it is a real toss-up in terms of accuracy, handling, and minimized recoil impulse with any 10mm round when compared to my D.Wesson. All of my other SIG Legions are SAO for my shooting preference with metal/steel pistols, like this P220, and it does not disappoint. If the OP or anybody else is looking for a good all metal 10mm shooter that is not a 1911, the SIG P220 in 10mm (Legion, if possible) is the way. I'd still like to purchase my own Colt Delta Elite w/ Rail, so the search continues...

Here are some updated pr0n pics between the SIG and D.Wesson ...
