Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The 2020 Colt Government Delta Elite is a modern production version of the iconic 10mm-chambered 1911 pistol, combining classic styling with updated features intended to handle the power of the 10mm Auto cartridge while maintaining the familiar ergonomics of the traditional Government-size platform. Produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company as part of its second-generation Delta Elite line, the pistol features an all-stainless-steel frame and slide, a 5-inch barrel, and a standard 8-round single-stack magazine, giving it the substantial weight and balance typical of full-size 1911 pistols. Mechanically, it operates on a single-action, short-recoil system derived from the original M1911 design, and like other Series 80 Colts, it incorporates a firing-pin safety to prevent accidental discharge if dropped. Modern refinements found on the 2020 production model include Novak-style dovetailed sights, an upswept beavertail grip safety for improved control and comfort, an aluminum trigger with a crisp pull around the mid-4-pound range, and checkered composite grips bearing the distinctive Delta medallion. The pistol’s dual-spring recoil system helps manage the higher pressures of the 10mm Auto cartridge, which was originally popularized by the Delta Elite when the model debuted in 1987 as one of the first major-manufacturer pistols chambered for that powerful round. Measuring roughly 8.25 inches in overall length and weighing about 2.4 pounds unloaded, the 2020 Government Delta Elite offers a blend of traditional 1911 handling and enhanced ballistic performance, making it appealing to enthusiasts who want a classic full-size Colt with significantly greater stopping power than standard .45 ACP or 9mm variants.
