Title: Custom Delta Elite
Post by: surjimmy on February 10 2014 11:35:19 PM MST
Am new to the site, so I thought I would start off with this. The work was done by Chuck Warner, for those of you who are not familiar with him. Chuck is the first Gun Smith to build a 9x23 in a 1911, he built it for Mr. Jeff Cooper. Please if you have any 1911's in 10mm, please post them.

Yes, that is very nice indeed. I love that frontstrap checkering. I just can't warm up to a DE anymore although I hear great things about current production guns. I had a blowout with one many years ago, thank God it wasn't my gun or ammo!

      Zephyr, that Razorback is on my short list. I really like the plain jane type sexy of the Razor, and surjimmy's custom. Sometimes, not so much, is just enough. Great looking guns, man!!  :P  8)
