10mm semi auto

I've got a Delta. It won't cycle anything light weight, and loves the hot loads. Box stock except for the ambi safety. And no, I don't plan on changing that any time soon. And if you get a 10mm, ANY 10mm, plan on reloading. Ammo ain't cheap.


Plan on a progressive reloader...as well.

You will luv the 10mm so much single-staging is just too darn slow!:dancingbanana:
 
I really like the look of the Tanfoglio's--they're reminiscent of the original Bren Ten which, for me at least, is the "classic" 10mm. It's a shame they weren't better built.

Yeah, whatever happened to ole Dornhaus & Dixon anyway? :confused:

If I were in the market for a 10mm right now, I'd buy that 1006 that is for sale on the EE in a heartbeat! It's got the highly desirable Novak sights. The 1006 I owned had a very nice trigger, by the way.

They are the original 10mm :cool: and as NAA stated about the Colt DE's (which are excellent guns!), a few of the early ones had some issues but I believe you'd be very happy with the fit, finish & accuracy of a Bren Ten if you ever get a chance to scoop one up:cool:.
 
And what, Glock 20 doesn't have a history of cracking?
I remember enough references on the net about that, but I didn't experience any first hand and I didn't see any either.
I had 2, one was an early model without fingergrooves. I wish I kept one.
I also had 2 Delta Elites. Nice guns.
No Tanfoglio yet.
 
Back in the days when the Delta Elite first hit the market, I had purchased one, did a few mods, beavertail, ambi, heavy wolf recoil spring and the thing performed flawlessly with both factory ammo and reloads, that and my Detonics Scoremaster in are the 2 that got away that I regret the most

All my Deltas have been pretty much stock except for a full length guide rod, buffer and heavier recoil spring. Have a friend who has a Delta with some nice mods and tuned by Gunnar at Armco. A very nice pistol to shoot, too.

...But, my choice was, and remains, a Glock 20.
Yeah, it's a big gun, but it's anvil reliable and is a hoot to shoot with max loads!
(By the way, I actually have a Glock 21(45ACP) and simply drop in a KKK match barrel in 10MM..a simple change out of barrel and mags..,,
VOILA!...Two (great calibre!) guns in one!

+1 for the route foxbat suggests. That is if your hands will fit a large frame Glock...

I don't swap barrels but rather the entire slide. Got a G20 top end on the EE and a few mags to go with it. Great caliber but I've got to get some dies and start reloading before I shoot any more 10mm. My local shop sells the dirty bird in 10mm for $26.99 a box.:eek: Prices like that make baby Jesus cry.

Considering .40 bullets are reasonably priced hand loading should cut costs considerably. Good luck in making your choice but you can go wrong with any 10mm IMHO.

Another bonus with a Glock is you can get a LWD conversion barrel to allow you to run cheap .40 S&W for under $100 US....
 
Hi everybody,
I am in the process to buy a Clt Dlta Elite Stainless Steel, as new for a real good price, I read your comments, Can you tell me what recoil weight spring shall I buy for it, for the buffer, I already in the process to get some, already use them on my .45. Thank you for the tips

I have owned two 10mm's (both Colt Delta Elites),one stainless ,the other and first one being blued.I've given each gun a fair diet of hot handloads early on but decided later to dedicate the stainless model to reduced loads using Wolf Truncated Cone lead bullets @ 950 f.p.s. max to avoid lead fowling in the bore.The blued model was customised also with the usual bells & whistles found on most race guns.Most importantly though is the issue of slide battering when using the extremely hot ammo that Norma of Sweden had originally loaded at the 10MM's debut for example.I believe that the current crop of factory ammo available(it's also declining in sales) is relatively safe in most quality guns,Colt's included.But the slide battering itself can be easily remidied by installing one-piece extended guide rods and the "shock-buff" system made by Clark,Ed Brown etc. I'm going on 20 plus years of 10MM auto fun and My Colts are up to the test.And as the guy said,"Colt, best damn government ever"
 
Thank you both; Jackpine and Smith45.
I am in the process of getting a Delta Elite as well and was just coming her to post hose exact same questions

Thanks Again
