I came across a customized Delta Elite today and was hoping for some feedback on it's value. Asking price was $800.
I'm not incredibly familiar with the delta elites so bear with me:
Blued frame and slide both marked delta elite (slide had DE serial prefix)
Slide stamped government model
Compensated barsto match barrel (Squared front compensator type)
Customized by ED Brown engraved on front right of slide in nice script
Chrome extended manual safety
Aftermarket beavertail thumb safety
Evidence of magwell work (opened up, looked a little rough)
Good front strap and front of trigger guard checkering
Adjustable target rear sight
Trigger was solid, looked stock, felt worked on
The pistol was tight, but well used and hadn't been cleaned. I'm not sure how to describe the compensated barrel, I've seen a number of 1911's with this style of compensator with it looks almost like an extended slide. The end of the barrel is squared off to match the profile of the slide.
I assume the "Customized by Ed Brown" means that this weapon passed through their shop at some point. Do they fit barsto barrels and such?
Thanks!
