I will let you go at the others for good practice

I wouldn't be on this website if I was not fond of my two Delta Elites. My last purchase was a SS Delta Elite, new in the box and still unfired. My original blued model has close to 4K rounds through it and is completely stock with exception of the ejection port relieved, long slide release, and grips changed to Colt walnut ones from a Gold Cup. I am now on my third set or recoil springs though.

Couldn't get one of the older Deltas so I settled on a new one for $850.00 out the door and its stainless

Shiny guns can get you killed!

No.  Poor decisions get you killed.

Brushed stainless is no more reflective than shiny blue (less, actually).  Even so, there's no indication a shiny weapon is any more risky than a dull one.  No evidence.  No history.  Lots of "studies".  Very old argument, and a myth.

[hillbillyhans]

Agree with the first part, but I have to believe that even a brushed stainless pistol is more reflective than my Glock! I know for sure animals will pick up on reflections. Humans being animal-like, should pick up on this as well.

[DM1906]

I'm sure it's possible, but without some evidence it's actually been a factor in a confrontation, ever, I'm skeptical.  I just don't think it matters, when it matters.  It may seem counterintuitive, but it is what it is.

[hillbillyhans]

I hear what your sayin'. This is all just theory where I'm standing.

While I'm going against the grain........doesn't this seem like allot of work to do to a pistol, just to get it to shoot like a Glock with half of the rounds?

[DM1906]

Each to his own.  If there was one perfect pistol, there would be no others.  What fun would that be?  If it were so, all our guns would be the same, and all our wives would look alike.  The handgun I most often carry (concealed) is a six shooter.  High capacity is nice, but it comes with a price.  If 6 (or 10) rounds isn't enough for me to fight my way to a better weapon (.44M, 10mm, or better yet, a rifle or shotgun), I'm in the wrong fight.  I've been shot at, and the last thing I was worried about was the color of my sidearm.  I'm pretty sure the shooters weren't thinking about that, either.  It is a scientific conclusion, though, that brighter objects appear larger than dull, less defined objects.  That said, a BG would probably see a sewer pipe, looking down the barrel of a 8-3/8" model 29.

I carry a J-frame around town under the same thinking. I carry the 10 for 4-legged problems.

I agree different strokes for different folks, I was just teasing. Some guys like to tinker, then shoot, and I can certainly appreciate that as I build my own longbows/arrows/quivers/armgrds/etc........

When it comes to my 10, I don't have the patience to tinker when there is so much ammo to shoot up!

"You feel lucky punk, well, do ya'" Hahaha!
