Default Colt Delta Elite in 10mm.

This is more about the 10mm than about the Colt but anyway.
I shot my first 10mm today. Oh my God, of my God, oh my God!
Our gunsmith asked me to shoot a customer's gun he's been complaining about and wanted another opinion.
I always heard and read good things about the caliber but never had the opportunity to shoot one until today.
Did I say "Oh my God?"
I want one so baaaad! To that end it works out of a full metal framed 1911 platform.
Did I say I want one so bad? Another bucket list item!
I told the gunsmith to make an offer to the customer on my behalf. Hey! I might get lucky.

If I get a 10mm, I am not sure I'd go with a 1911. I'd be awfully tempted to get a modern day version of the Bren Ten - the EAA Witness.

Yeap. Between my recent purchases for me and my wife I'll be working in the red for most of 2021.
