USED gun production date 1988. The second generation Colt Delta Elite is a government-sized 1911, which means it’s a full-sized handgun. It has a five-inch barrel and full-size frame and is a modernized version of the series 80 1911. In the world of 1911s, there are series 70 and series 80 pistols, with the latter being the newer design. The series 80 1911s have features like a standard barrel bushing, a half-cock shelf on their hammers, and a metal lift as part of their safety mechanism. They’re also made to be more drop-safe and have a flat mainspring housing. There are other differences, but that gives you a general idea.
This gun is designed as a defensive use pistol. It has a heavy metal frame, which is fantastic for mitigating felt recoil and muzzle rise. Grips are the classic composite black style with the Delta medallions at the center. Serrations are located at the back of the slide for easier manipulation. The gun has the standard 1911 safety mechanisms such as a grip safety and external thumb safety. Those controls and the magazine release are simple to operate with no need to adjust your grip. Other features include a skeletonized trigger and hammer, upswept beavertail grip, and standard Novak white dot sights. The gun has a capacity of 8+1.We have powder, primers, brass and bullets available as well, call to inquire.
