the new Colt 10mm Delta Elite announced at the NRA show a couple of weeks ago . I just received my writer's demo T&E gun
Came in earlier today and I snapped off a few pictures of it real quick after firing it a little https://looserounds.com/2016/06/03/first-look-at-colts-new-delta-elite-10mm/ 
its dehorned for carry, as most of the features of the old XSE line ( now discontinued) scalloped under the trigger, S&A beavertail grip. etc Very very nice and crisp trigger and the classic delta triangle in the new grips. cocking serrations are the new type as used on the M45A1 and it has novak front and rear and it has the dual recoil springs you can read and see more on it and read my review in a week or so over at looserounds,com |

Beautiful. Wish they were ramped barrel. Sadly, won't buy one due to that.

DAMMIT.
As if I didn't want a Delta Elite already and have been putting it off, they go and do this. My wallet...

When I got my first handgun on my birthday, I got a SIG Scorpion 1911....a delta elite was next to it. I really wanted it but I did not want to spend the extra 600$

Might have to buy a second Delta Elite.... This one will be for winter carry. So much for saving $$$.

finally, the sorely needed upgrades only took about 15 years after every other 1911 mfg had them...

The ramped barrel offers more chamber support.

Looks like shit compared to the original. cheap 1991 grips with the delta logo shoved in, quick-machined wilson serrations and machining marks all over the gun on the rear.
When the original comes back along with the Mark IV line I'll be impressed. |

I like everything about it except the two glaring things that ruin the look.
First, the terrible slide serrations. I personally HATE wide serrations. What is worse is that damn speed bump safety. I ripped mine off of my Combat Elite as fast as I could. Take a great feeling weapon and add a bump safety....you've just undone everything that was good about a great feeling gun. Mind you, this is NOT unique to Colt. Nearly everyone ruins 1911s with both of those ugly mods. Other than those two things.....Colt turns out a really good gun. ( I have a 2012 Delta that is getting modded into a Combat Elite profile ) ....and there are some true positives about that gun.....the knuckle cut and Novak's are awesome. General fit and finish are very good. All in all.....a great gun that you'll enjoy. |

I'm really close to grabbing a CDE, even though I'm not a big 1911 guy, I love the capability of the 10 mm.

Is that a chip on the right rear of the slide?
