Make: Colt
Model: Delta Gold Cup
- The Colt Delta Elite is a modified M1911 pistol, Series 80 configuration, chambered for the 10mm Auto. It is similar to the M1911 in design and operation. Colt manufactured both stainless steel and blued versions with eight-round magazines. A Delta Gold Cup model was also offered for target competition. The stainless steel Government Model version has recently been reintroduced.
- Overall, the Colt Delta Elite was a joy to review. If you are in the market for a 10mm, this is an excellent choice. I spent most of last summer in Okinawa working with the Marines, who happened to be issued Colt 1911s in.45 ACP.
Lost of options I think have better value than the Delta Elite. I could recommend a Delta Elite over a RIA at $700.00. I would definitely say get the Colt over the RIA at $650. But I don't see picking the Delta Elite over the Sig options. And I don't see it realistically as much better than the Armscor guns of today. And that is the real issue.

Our Assessment: The Delta Elite was introduced in 1987 as a 10mm version of the 1911. The 1911 already had a following, of course, while the cartridge was popular as a result of Jeff Cooper’s involvement in its development and use in the Bren-10. It has remained popular with fans of the 1911 and the 10mm cartridge ever since. This example was made in 1990 and is the Delta Gold Cup, with all the features of the Gold Cup National Match in a 10mm chambering. It retains the vast majority of its finish with an after-market recoil spring assembly and copmensated bushing. It would make a fine addition to a Colt, 1911, or 10mm collection missing a Delta Elite or as a duty, carry, hunting sidearm or home defense handgun. Please see our photos and good luck!
