Title: So I got my Delta elite back from the smith today...
Post by: TAB on March 11, 2008, 04:35:55 AM
All I can say is wow... from a POS that was not functioning to a very tight fitting gun... Trigger pull came out to 2 lb 14 oz, the slide feels like its on ball barrings...  I can't wait too shoot it.

How old was the gun?  Did you try Colt customer service?

This was the used and abused gun I bough for $20... it had been left in a box in a basement...it was litterly a paper weight.   Infact when I was doing the "safe handling demo" at the FFL we had to use a hammer to get it to go to battery so the safety could be applied...

It was thrasted.  I bought it for the frame, the slide ended up being fine.  every thing else ended up being replaced.

You do know the maximum effective range for an excuse, don't you?

In case you don't know it's .0 meters! ;D

So I guess you guys want a range report from this morning...


Well 100 rounds of rem UMC 180 grainers, not one prob so far.  It was windy so I really didn't get a chance to see what it can do accuracy wise, but groups at 10 yd slow fire off hand were in the 2" range.
