It Returns

RCH · May 16, 2011

I was just in the grocery store this evening the latest gun rag caught my eye. Flipping thru, my heart stopped- Colt is bringing back the Delta Elite!! :party29:

I can't wait to check one of these out at one of the Industry Partners!

Um, it's been out for at least a year now. I've seen two new ones at a couple of local gun stores.

How much are they going for I wonder.

jimbobborg · May 18, 2011

The last one I saw at a gun shop, new, was under $1k. This was last year.

These things are impossible to find. We have several on perpetual backorder with every distributor we use. They're quite awesome though.

For an unpopular caliber, it sure is hard to find a 10mm that isn't on backorder! Hello, Dan Wesson? Bring back the 10mm CBOB!!!! I want one, but not $1500 for a used one!

damn....sure is pretty. but honestly for straight target shooting, .45 acp is so much cheaper and easier to find and I'm sure it could have no problem taking a bad guy down. I have my GP100 for "knock down power".

A Colt Delta Elite was the first handgun I ever fired....back in the early 90's I think.

It may be easier to find, but I don't think it's really any cheaper than the 10mm ammo I get. And since I reload, I have access to all of the bullets the .40 uses, and the .401 bullets are cheaper than the .451 bullets every day of the week.

I've seen them for ~$900. When they first intro'd it at the SHOT Show a few years ago, it had a bushingless bull barrel and some other custom touches that got nix'd. I guess they were trying to keep the price down. I may pick one up before they get discontinued, again.

Read the review...and they liked it. The 10mm is an EXCELLENT cartridge......

jimbobborg · May 24, 2011

It's always like this for me.

I never have the money to jump on these things. http://www.vaguntrader.com/forums/u...699/For_Sale_Colt_Delta_Elite_New_#Post142699 Oh well, if my retroactive raise money comes in soon enough, I might have to pick this up.

Here I was thinking you started a thread about my X-wife moving back to Maryland.

I am glad I am not alone in wanting one of these fine pistols.
