Pistol Enthusiasts Still Love The Colt Delta Elite*Kyle Mizokami* *Guns, Americas* Alternately Colt says the gun is suitable for “advanced security operatives”, where “advanced” is likely a function of upper body strength and pistol experience. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The 10mm Auto caliber is one of the few ported over to the 1911A1 platform, and the Delta Elite Rail is one of the few pistols in 10mm Auto.
