    So I screwed up again and touched one of these. Now I must have it.
    Anyone heard anything about the new manufacture ones? I want to get a few boxes of Buffalo Bore and Swamp Fox but I want to make sure full power 10mm rounds are ok for it.

    Google has failed me.

    I remember when these were announced to much fanfare and high-fiving; like you, I didn't hear a thing about them, afterward. The price definitely seems right, though.

    I have one and have shot quite a bit of Georgia Arms ammo and about 100 rounds of Buffalo Bore through it with no issues. I'm leaving the Swamp Fox ammo for my G20 and Lone Wolf barrel. I don't want to risk the Delta for ammo I don't use that often.

    I have had 2 case faulures using the "fully supported chamber: Swamp Fox stuff 180g XTP at 1400 FPS. I talked to the owner and I'm now using the 180g XTP at 1350 FPS. The Delta cannot handle the ammo meant for pistols with an after market barrel that offer better chamber support. The regular hot stuff seems ok though. I own 3 DE's

    I can shoot the very hot stuff with my Smith 10 series pistols and my G29SF with a Storm Lake barrel. The DE is already my favorite pistol. The Smith's are built like tanks. Just don't use the SF ammo listed as "for fully supported chambers only"and you'll most likely be fine.

    In the interest of full disclosure I have not had an opportunity to shoot the milder SF stuff yet. The owner says I should be OK. If you want to talk to him, he's on Glock Talk as Mudrush or email via his web site. His ammo performs as advertised

    For hunting, I use DoubleTap 165gr JHP @ 1400fps (718 ft lbs) but am considering the 200gr Nosler @ 1250 fps (694 ft lbs) or the 200gr hardcast @ 1300fps (750 ft lbs) since I have a Lone Wolf 6-in barrel. (all stated ballistics are from a standard 5in G20)

    I second the installation of a heavier recoil spring. Makes a big difference on the hot loads.

    I will keep using Kamagra Soft. I am well into my 60s and your Cialis gave me what I lost: long lasting erection and delights of youth. My order arrived within 5 days in good condition. I received my medicine in time and I think that this is a sign of responsibility and professionalism. cialis soft Thanks for such a good service and a great product.
