I have fallen in love with my very small and light Kimber Ultra CDP in .45. The CDP is light and small enough that you will forget you have it with you.....unbelievable. Out of the box, with it's 3" barrel it fired better groups than my 1911.
The Kimber Ultra Carry in .40 has to be one of the best available in that caliber. At least check it out before you buy.
