Colt Delta. I can get one new for just under 1k.
Iver Johnson XL, longslide. Under $700 Rock Island. Under $600 Possibly a Tanfoglio, I do like CZ75's. So I could do it also This is the one I got. Colt Delta Elite Government I like the price of the Rock Island I like the Colt just for the name and resale value compared to the others. Smoky Mountain has them for $944 delivered The Tanfoglio isn't a 1911 buy l have a lot of CZ75'S already. I want something reliable and durable. Just wondered if the brands less than the Colt would fit what I was looking for. If I can save a few bucks and still get a good gun I would prefer that. I also wouldn't be putting thousands of rounds through. It probably would have less than 3k rounds through it in its life. |

I would personally avoid the Iver Johnsons. I haven't seen one yet that impressed me. I think the RIA is a better value.

10mm is a punishing round. If you're not going to get a Glock 20, then I'd say the Delta.

I like the ergonomics of the Coonan, and they are supposed to be shipping a 10mm soon, but I don't think that will meet your price point. Of your list, I'd probably get the Colt, just because of the red triangle.

What I don't like about the Delta is that they use an unramped barrel. Personally I like a little more case support with hot 10mm loads.

Besides the pricepoint of the RIA, another advantage is they come in a doublestack version as well.

You can get a Dan Wesson Silverback in their Blemished program for about $1,500, I did. It's an outstanding 1911 10mm. I've had Colt Delta Elite 10mm as well as Kimber Custom TLE/RL II 10mm and the Kimber is a better pistol than the Colt. The Colt Delta Elite did not have a light rail and had standard trigger and hammer. My Dan Wesson and the Kimber both have night sights, match triggers, and match hammers right out of the box. The Dan Wesson Silverback is a better 1911 than either the Colt or the Kimber and is worth the higher price tag. That said, my edc pistol is a Night Hawk Custom Recon Enforcer 10mm. I prefer to insure my life with the best pistol I could buy and the NHC fits the bill nicely. The action, trigger, accuracy, and reliability of the NHC is better than the Dan Wesson, Colt, or Kimber.

I just picked up one of the new Delta Elites recently. I have quite a few 10mm pistols (Glock 20/29/40, SIG P220, and a S&W 1076), and I think the Delta is my new favorite.
Call me old fashioned, but I don't trust a bargain-brand or overseas-made 1911 to hold up to 10mm loads over time. I may very well be wrong, but I'm not spending money to find out. As far as the unramped barrel, I don't plan on shooting nuclear loads through my Delta. SAAMI spec full power (200gr @ 1200 / 180gr @ 1250 or so, as far as I'm concerned) is good enough for me. Any more than that, and I'll take one of my .41/.44 mag S&Ws or a rifle. I plan on fitting a flat-bottom Harrison firing pin stop to my DE and stocking up on replacement recoil and hammer springs, as well as the stock polymer guide rods and calling it a day. |

I have a Delta Goldcup and a RIA 10mm. If you can afford the Colt get it. There is something about a Colt 1911. That said, I have no regrets whatsoever getting a RIA. That thing is a lot of value for the money. If I had it over though, I would get the RIA Long slide 10mm. In the thread of high round counts handguns used for rental at Battlefield Vegas, the owner Ron had a lot of good things to say about RIA pistols. I agree with what he said.

To me, the best 1911 10mm made today is the STI Nitro. Certainly a Sig 1911 would be a close, close second.
Given Colt's long, sordid history of uneven QC, no way would *I* spend that sort of coin on a Delta. RIA is worth a look if you don't wish for top tier refinement. They shoot ok, but they're not "smooth" enough for me to keep them. My .o2 |

I love my Tacops 10mm.
My only issue with the Colt is the unramped barrel. Otherwise, I would have seriously considered it. The DW Razorback is a great option too but it's $1500+. And don't forget the Sig P220 10mm if you want a P Series style pistol. They have excellent case support, too. |
