For all the 10mm guy's!

[1BN/75th]

Colt reintroduced the Delta Elite with updates and the 08 shot show.
The new DE's will all be stainles, built from forged slides and receivers.
Novak style sights front is now dovetailed. Match grade stainless bull barrell reverse guide plug, full length guide rod recoil system. Beavertail grip safety commander type hammer. Old style non enhanced frame and slide configuration. MSRP is $893 So actual cost should be decent.

I would be really interested if It was blued. I thought they looked so much better. But I might bet one anyways! Do you think this will bring the prices down on the old ones?

Maybe for a while but there are more than a few guys out there that prefer blued pistols like yourself. So if they do drop at all they will rebound quickly.

I've got one of the originals. Very nice piece. I'd like to get a new one to add to the collection.

Great...just what I want...a 1911 that is snappier and more expensive to shoot and harder to find ammo for.

Not for me, thank you. The original caliber is great as it is.

Really now, does the 45ACP not cut it for some of you? I don't get the adoration or need for the 10mm...not at all.

I'm fine with you seeing no need for it, but why begrudge others their fun? If a 10mm floats someone else's boat, why do you care?

You sound like one of many that have never fired a properly tuned and properly loaded 10mm 1911 before. The truth is the 10mm even hot loads are no harder to tame than a hot 45 acp. Beyound that the 10mm generates way more muzzle energy, a way flatter tragectory, more useable range, more muzzle energy not to forget better stopping power.
The 10mm is more versitile for those that reload. Anything a 45 can do a 10mm can do only better. Not that the 45 isn't good just that its not the best from a ballistic stand point.
I have to ask have you ever owned an 10mm? Spent anytime with one? Or are you biased from the BS in the press about the caliber?
Those of us that have know the score and it don't favor the mighty 45 acp!

Further more with Colt and S&W bringing 10mm guns back out, EAA,Glock,Kimber,Dan Wesson,Ed Brown,Les Baer,Wilson Combat,Nighthawk all offering 10mm's and a AR15 being buit in 10mm seems that the 10 is a pheonix rising from the ashes. It's no more expensive than a 45 to shoot if you look around.
No matter what we as individuals like or dislike about a certain round there will be others that love it.
As for the 10mm, its not dead,useless or too much to handle except by the weak wristed or the overly recoil sensitve. Just misunderstood and unduely trashed.

All we need now is an XD in 10mm... I would buy one in a heartbeat

Sorry 1B, I've shot the 1911 for 30yrs now & it is definetly more diff. to shoot the full power 10mm from the 1911 than a 45acp. The 10mm will will also beat the crap out of the Delta platform w/ a steady diet of full power loads. I'll keep mine, but I don't run barn burner stuff through it much anymore.
