*SOLD* Colt Delta Elite MKIV 10mm 5" *ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BRIGHT STAINLESS*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Colt Delta Elite, introduced in 1987, is a modified version of the iconic M1911 pistol, chambered for the powerful 10mm Auto cartridge. As the second commercial pistol to be chambered in 10mm, following the Bren Ten, the Delta Elite capitalized on the growing interest in the 10mm round, which had been developed through testing by the FBI to offer superior stopping power compared to the 9mm Parabellum and even the .45 ACP. This potent cartridge made the Delta Elite an ideal choice for law enforcement, tactical shooters, and handgun hunters seeking more power from a semi-automatic. Produced from 1987 to 1996, the Delta Elite incorporated the tried-and-true design of the Colt M1911, now featuring the Series 80 firing pin safety system, which enhanced the safety without sacrificing the proven reliability and accuracy of the M1911 platform.
 
As one of the first American manufacturers to produce a 10mm pistol, Colt cemented its place in firearm history with the Delta Elite, which quickly became a favorite among combat pistol shooters. Known for its rugged build and powerful ballistics, the Delta Elite is capable of delivering near .41 Magnum performance, making it suitable for hunting medium-sized game as well as self-defense and tactical applications. The Delta Elite's legacy continues with the release of the Delta Elite MKIV, reaffirming Colt’s commitment to producing high-performance, reliable pistols. With its combination of classic M1911 ergonomics and the hard-hitting 10mm Auto cartridge, the Colt Delta Elite remains a revered firearm for those seeking a versatile, powerful handgun with a rich history in American firearm design.
