Title: Gosh Darn It!
Post by: gandog56 on November 05 2014 12:06:50 PM MST
Saw a Colt Delta Elite in the local Armslist. But the guy either wanted 1500 cash, or a trade for a SIG P229 in .40 cal, which I have one of.

I ain't got the money, and he ain't getting my SIG. Oh well, I have 3 other 10mm's to fondle.

One of the dumbest things I did in my early twenties was sell my Delta Elite.

Yeah, but add shipping and a transfer fee. I'm talking a local deal.

They are still in production. It seems lately that Colt has increased production since they've lost a lot of government contracts. I see them on GA Outdoor Trader for around 1k or less used. Not sure if Alabama has a similar website.

Check with a dealer on a new one. A local dealer has had 5 Colts in 38 Super recently........these are normally pretty rare.

I have been wanting a Delta Elite for years now. I would trade my 229 for one, but I don't think the State of NJ would appreciate that. Lol..

The second one is $995 no reserve, and it is factory new!

Hmm....maybe for a retirement present some day.

You need a good double-stack for your collection  ;D Polymer or Steel and a couple of new ones are right around the corner  8)

My small short fingered hands do not like double stacks, though. Otherwise I would own a Desert Eagle in ..50 AE, or an LAR Grizzly .45 magnum.

  A Witness with EG Xtreme grip panels is thin like a Nutty Bar  :D

I prefer my 1911's but my witness polymer has a thinner grip.

Gandog, try the elite match sometime. If anyone nearby you has one to shoot it would be great. Try before you buy. I don't have big hands either but its a slimmer than the average double stack and the single action only trigger is already back for ya.

Oh believe me, I'm waiting and drooling over a SIG 10mm.

10mm pistols are pretty rare around here unless you like Glocks. (And I DON'T!) I've seen one RIA, and no others.
