Colt Delta Elite- Want to shoot

Post by Usnwarvet » Tue Nov 22, 2016 9:08 pm

I've been interested in a Colt Delta Elite for a while now and am wanting to get some hands on before spending the $ on it. If there is anyone willing to let me burn a few mags through theirs (I'll provide NIB ammo) please let me know. I can compensate for your time with a box of ammo or buy you lunch etc. Let me know if you're interested through PM. Thank you!

I WISH I had one to let you try out, because I've always wanted one, but all I've ever been able to afford was a Glock 20 which is a whole 'nuther thing altogether and doesn't have even a fraction of the "Cool" factor.

Wikipedia has some good info on the gun, however.

I think double eagle in deer park has one used that might save you some coin...

I know double eagle on Francis had one as of yesterday, don't know if it was used or not..
Not really helping your "want to shoot", but thought I'd mention it :D

I actually sold my delta because it was not the gun my other two 10's are. Stock vs stock it beats them...but with the addition of a fps, spring and ejector work it gets beat by the RIA. The colt was hell on brass and the smiles it left were scary.

You can make a colt hang, but at that point.....is it still a colt? Not a question I wanted to answer. If you shoot 40s&w velocity stuff.....it's flawless. Feed it 200's over 1100ish and you'll be scared to do so with a full mag.
