OK, This summer through enemy territory and hostile environs I took with me to my bunker in Montana a nearly new Colt Delta Elite, with box and three mags. This cost 600 bucks from a good friend.
I now own the, "best semi auto handgun cartridge I never owned."
As a extra dividend, the spring is so stiff that with a full mag and unchambered, my three small sons cannot pull the slide back. My wife can't pull the slide back. I showed the oldest son, my most trustworthy and attentive son, how to push the gun forward instead of pull the slide backwards when putting into battery; he still could not do it. Thus this instantly became the house gun, able to be avaliable without the fear of the two year old or neighbor kid having a shooting incident with it. I still keep the weapon out of reach and check its status whenever I handle it.
It's good to have it aboard.
I now own two semi autos- a Springfield 1911 and the Colt. And though the Colt is exceptionally tight by Colt standards it is not as tight as my older Springfield. It also weighs slightly less which was a surprise- it felt heavier in the hand.
I'll keep to book loads and enjoy the 10. What else can one do?
This purchase has wiped out my finances, for though a great deal at 600 I'm not rolling in dough by any standards and am now in debt to, "the House', probably past Christmas. Naturally, since going into debt all the deal of a lifetime have come out of the wood work. I've passed on a number of brilliant high carbon steel khukuris from HI imports, sob.
I keep telling myself this fine weapon was worth the sacrafice.
