Get the Colt Delta Elite in 10mm. Its a classic 1911 and it shoots 10mm. Whats not to like? You can get it all pretty like mine.

Frame cracks on the original Delta Elite is what not to like. Make sure you get a new manufacturing run.

That is easily rectified though. The hole for the slide release is closed on top. It should be an open slot. This tiny piece of metal is the cause of frame cracks. Take a file and remove the tiny amount of metal along the top of the rail. It should end up being an open u-shaped sot instead of a hole.

Or you could listen to Axeman and buy an enhanced 1st generation Delta Elite, or a new second generation one.

I want a 10mm too..but i'm not thrilled with the options

Lunker, Do they sell slide/barrel assembly by itself? Where can I find that?

 

thanks!

Check Glockmeister.com. They are the only online seller I know that sells Glock uppers. Sometimes you see them on GunBroker.com or GlockTalk.com. I had set up a saved search for "Glock Slide" and "Glock Upper" so I would be e-mailed whenever one was posted on GunBroker.

Just open up the slide release hole. Easy fix and your done. I wouldnt touch anything new that colt makes today. The quality control has gone way down. Ask any custom 1911 gunsmith what they think of the new colt lineup. It takes alot more work to mark them run flawlessly compared the older series 70 and 80 models.
