Hey guys I just wanted to share my new Colt Delta Elite XE 10mm. I have always been fond of the 10mm and I regularly carry a Glock 20 Gen 4 while hog hunting. This is going to be my CCW/ Woods gun. Based on recommendations from Ned Christiansen, I done the following: fit and installed a EGW flat bottom firing pin stop. Replaced the dual 23# recoil spring with a Wilson 20# single spring. Wilson stainless steel recoil spring guide. 25# Wolff mainspring. I also added... Wilson medium pad solid trigger. EGW barrel bushing that gives .001 tolerance to both the slide and barrel! I'll post pics when I get a chance to get to the range. Just wanted to share!

NICE...and great mods...
What ammo are you going to use?
I just got into 10mm earlier this year.

Congratulations.
Do you handload?

I do handload. Right now in my Glock I'm running 10.0 grains of Blue Dot behind a 180 grain Hornady XTP. Gives me almost 1200 fps. Works well on hogs.
I would like to try some of the Double Tap stuff for hogs though.
I am interested in loading some 155 XTPs for carry in the Delta at around 1400. But I would have to check for over penetration.

It's not BS if you don't want to shoot someone behind the bad guy. I've watched a round go through a guy and hit a car 60 feet away at a McDonalds.

I picked up a box of "Team never quit" ammo from Cabelas. Marcus Luttrell's logo. It's a frangible hollow point.

True. I would love to try the heavy weights for my woods carry. But I want to develop some loads for my CCW as well. I agree if your gonna carry a 10mm in the woods go all out. Why carry a 10mm loaded like a 40 S&W? I really like the idea of those 220 gain!!

Nice Delta.
Over penetration is an issue for all Delta owners. Just comes with the territory.

Based on recommendations from Ned Christiansen, I done the following:
Ned is one of the most astute & respected 1911 gunsmith's in the country & is a peach of a guy..........not really very unusual recommendations. Very nice gun. MM

Yea, I heard Ned was very good. I wasn't all that knowledgeable with 1911's in 10mm even though I have shot other 10mms for years. I've had many 45s though. His set up seemed to make a lot of sense and people I talked to had great luck with it so I thought I would go for it.
Im excited about getting to know this pistol.

I agree under penetration can get you killed. I've seen that too.

I agree. Dave I only thought under penetration would get you laughed at.
