Colt Combat Elite (45ACP) $1000.00 Colt Delta Elite (10mm) $1000.00 (not out yet). Wolff Company offers single recoil springs for the Delta Elite 10mm pistol. When using a Wolff single recoil spring to replace the original dual-springs, a standard diameter Colt (1911 series) recoil spring guide MUST be used in place of the smaller guide supplied with the Delta Elite. I am now about to close on a Colt Delta Elite 10mm pre ban and a G21.45 pre ban. I will be putting threaded barrels in both. The only suppressor I have found that shoots all 3 calibers is the Gemtech Gem 45. Otherwise I would need a minimum of two suppressors. I already installed a threaded barrel in the G17.

Our Assessment: The Delta Elite was introduced in 1987 as a 10mm version of the 1911. The 1911 already had a following, of course, while the cartridge was popular as a result of Jeff Cooper’s involvement in its development and use in the Bren-10. It has remained popular with fans of the 1911 and the 10mm cartridge ever since. This example was made in 1990 and is the Delta Gold Cup, with all the features of the Gold Cup National Match in a 10mm chambering. It retains the vast majority of its finish with an after-market recoil spring assembly and copmensated bushing. It would make a fine addition to a Colt, 1911, or 10mm collection missing a Delta Elite or as a duty, carry, hunting sidearm or home defense handgun. Please see our photos and good luck!
