Default Colt Delta Elite
Colt will be re-introducing the Delta Elite in 2008...
I ripped off these photos off the "new Delta"






I guess I'll have to make a trip to my dealer as my 10 mm family needs a new brother

It kind of looks like they added a beavertail from the picture, although I have no idea how good it is. I'm not familiar with Colt's beavertails.

No big deal to me. I dropped in a Wilson Combat beavertail not long after I bought mine and it's worked fine ever since.

I'm with you on the $800 price though. I'm not going to run right out and buy another one.

Agreed...dollar for dollar, you don't seem to get a lot with the Colts.

I've seen Colts, still in the wrapper, that had just as sloppy of a fit as some of the Taurus 1911's are coming with....

Why they're not fitting a nice tight, full beavertail on a 10mm is beyond me.

Maybe it's because the people who buy Colts tend to look at them more than they shoot them, IMO.

Looks nice! No Delta emblem in the grips though?

I am not impressed at all. Never was a big colt fan though. Just me I guess.

It's an XSE in 10mm....

If I had the money to shoot a 10mm, I'd order a good one with the features I want.

This gun is for collectors.

Ditto, if you want a 1911 in 10mm I'd go with a Fusion.

For a long time I really wanted to add a Colt Gold Cup Trophy to my collection.

2 or 3 months ago a co-worker & I stopped at East Coast (good people IMO) and they had one in stock.

I looked at it, handled it, and gave it back to the fellow behind the counter.

Just not as nice as I thought it should be considering the price. FWIW
