I bought this new back in 1999 for a very reasonable price. It was built in 1991 and it seems it sat on a shelf for 8 years, guess they did not sell back then.

It has seen a lot of rounds, both commercials, including the old Norma, and reloads.

And it has a cousin in .45 ACP

I bought a Blue DE NIB in 1992 for $400. Sold it a year later for $450. Still regret it.

I bought a blued DE for 400 also and then later traded it for a Glock 35. Stupid.

Bought a lightly used 90 Delta Gold Cup. Had to lose the stupid rubber wrap around grips. Colt was still grooving the front of the frame back then. Put some stocks from Raasco on this guy.
