Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Delta Elite is a modified M1911 pistol, Series 80 configuration, chambered for the 10mm Auto. It is similar to the M1911 in design and operation. Colt manufactured both stainless steel and blued versions with eight-round magazines. Released in 1987, it was the second commercial pistol chambered in the 10mm cartridge. The Delta Elite is a standard M1911 design with a few minor differences from the latest Series 80 derivative of that pistol. It carries the rowel "Commander" type hammer of that pistol and the same overall features of the 1911 that have made it so popular with users. However, the Delta Elite carries a stiffer double recoil spring to handle the increased recoil of the 10mm round. Unlike the .400 Corbon, the 10mm can easily exceed the pressure levels of the .357 Magnum, thus stressing the original design's limitations unless care is given. Many gunsmiths have their own modifications, which they feel adjust the level of felt recoil of the Delta Elite. Some of the first Delta Elites had a tendency to suffer flex-induced slide rail stress cracks. This was quickly addressed by removing the rail section above the slide-stop cutout.
