Been waiting to get this thing. Fits really nice, no blems on the finish. I already see copper fouling from their test rounds. But the biggest issue, the mag won't lock into place! I really like it, a few nice little upgrades. Trigger is light but a slight creep. Adjustable rear sights fiber optic front. Going to have to slug the barrel

More pics of some "1911s"

I hope that you can get the factory to cover the magazine catch problem. I really like the 10mm Auto. Properly loaded, the cartridge approaches the low-end .41 Magnum velocities/energies.

If you install a flat-bottomed firing pin retainer, you can reduce slide velocity and arrange for the frame to have a longer life. The only drawback, is that the slide will be a bit stiffer to pull to the apex of its rearward travel in order to chamber a round. Aside from that, there's no real "downside" to this small change.

I am working on them with it. They send to send the mag back in. Other mags I have work great. I love my g20. The 10 is an awesome cartridge. They said if the bore is oversized they can send me a label to ship back and take a look at it

Lanbos. They had 5 in stock Friday. Down to 2 on Monday. Not sure how many left. They have been going in and out of stock fast. I've been looking for them since they released at CTD in November. Always wanted a delta elite

I would be very interested to get a range report on the Rock Island......had given up on finding a Delta for a fair price, so I've started to build a 10 mm. But there is always room for one more in the safe! :-) BTW.....Lanbos is out of stock.

Check every so often. It pops back up. Those vz grips on it are very very aggressive,

Any Colt's Delta Elite magazine (Metalform) magazine should work. I like the Metalform magazines, because positive feeding is the word of the day for them.

My son bought one and the recoil on factory 165 gr bullets is about like my 175 40 S&W in a S&W 999.

We're those watered down? I've only shot 10mm in my glock and its definitely snappier than any 40sw. Maybe the hull barrel and extra weight on the 1911 helps
