I've had my Mec-Tech for almost a year now. Over 1,000rds with no malfunctions! I've shot Underwood, Buffalo Bore, Double Tap, Armscor, S&B, Federal, all functioned fine and shot tight groups. The only thing lacking was a high cap mag. So I bought 2 Korean made 26rd, Glock 21 mags (.45acp) and converted them to 10mm. These mags now hold 30rds and have been 100% reliable! So now I have have a 30rd 10mm carbine.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: New Delta
May 17 2017 10:08:28 AM MDT
I have a new 2016 DE. Everyone needs to stop worrying about the non-ramped barrel. I've been shooting Underwood 165gr thru 200gr through my DE and the brass looks better that what comes out of my Glock 20 with KKM barrel and 22lb spring. About 300rds of Underwood ammo total. The brass show no signs of excessive pressure at all. I spoke to Kevin at Underwood and he said all of their loadings are safe for the DE now. They changed their powder blends. If you need more power than Underwood you should consider a .44 magnum. I keep Underwood 180gr Gold Dots in my DE for self defense and plink with the S&B and Armscor for about $0.28 a round. The new DE is a well made 1911, colt's done a nice job, just with they were Novak night sight. Will be swapping in a set.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Coonan
May 17 2017 09:58:17 AM MDT
I owned a complete custom Coonan back in the 90's when Dan owned the company. It was a nice pistol but I got out of reloading.357mag. Unless Coonan has changed manufacturing materials, be advised that it is a cast pistol. So for the money I'd go with a Rock Island Armory/ Armscor 10mm before dropping big coin on a Coonan. At least the RIA has a forged slide. Just my $0.02

Waiting for it to ship? How long does it take? I bought mine through Glock Parts. It showed in stock. It said shipped but I received a tracking number? Emailed Glock Parts (after the whole spam filter thing), they said that shipped means they have given my order to Mec Tech, WTF?? How can they show it in stock? Anyway mounting my Glock 20 to it with Holosun HS503c when it does arrive. Trying to keep the weight down as much as possible. Any advise for me as far as break in, ammo selection? At the moment I have a bunch of Armscor and Underwood.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: Sig 1911R Tacops
January 18 2017 01:37:37 PM MST
Disco, sear, thumb safety, slide stop, ejector, grip safety, mag release, I was just getting ready to give my cc number for purchase when my buddy, who has a TACOPS in .45, said I'd better check with Sig, he knew my aversion to MIM. So I called Sig and asked for Tech support not sales. Sales is useless at Sig, hell the guy in sales didn't even know the pistol was released, this was two weeks ago. I found that disturbing as well!?  Anyway Tech guy transferred me to warranty, he said they'd know, and that's where I got my info, still hear-say but that was good enough for me to quote. The Kimber had the same MIM parts when I dumped the Shwartz safety and stripped the gun. Every MIM part has a tiny circle on it, dead give away. My wife carries the Sig P238 .380acp and I consider it to be the finest.380 out there. MIM in a .380 I have problem with, in a 10mm 1911 I do.

$994 but I was shocked how Sig loads the TACOPS up with MIM parts, worse than Kimber I believe? At least Colt only uses a couples of these parts in the Delta, that are non critical. My next 10mm is going to be a Delta and I'll replace the few MIM parts with Ed Brown parts like I did on my Kimber. In reality you're getting a slightly upgraded RIA (forged frame instead of cast) when you buy one of these new Sigs. I was very disappointed as I was getting ready to buy the TACOPS in 10mm.

For sale is my very lightly used S&W 1006 DA/SA with slide mounted decocker. Bore is excellent, finish is 98%, Protected Adjustable rear sight, 3 dot sight system, this was the S&W "flagship" model with 5" barrel. Built like a tank, able to handle all 10mm ammo. This pistol will only appreciate in value, so not only is it a great 10mm, it's also an investment! Magazines for these pistols are now selling for $100 each! Comes with 4 S&W factory mags, also comes with 4 new in packaging Wolf 10% more power magazine Springs, 4 new White followers ( currently three mags have the yellow and one has a white follower), 3 new in the pack Wolf recoil Springs ( Factory 18lb, 20lb, and 22lb). Must sell due to sons tuition.
$1,100.00 OBO

10mm semi-auto handguns / 2016 Colt Delta Elite
January 10 2017 09:17:15 AM MST
Couple of good articles/videos on the new DE below. I would like to hear from anyone who has purchased or fired this new DE, impressions, accuracy, reliability, case bulging, or ammo? If you have an opinion on the FDE color as well I'd appreciate it although I'm leaning towards the stock SS finish for two reasons, 1: If the "cerekote" chips or wears through ( it has on 2 of my other pistols) you're stuck with a refinish job where as SS can be buffed out. 2: I don't think it's worth the extra $200 for the FDE?

I am selling my S&W 1006, as you know, and part of the proceeds are going towards a new DE. I can't accurately shoot any pistol with a DA/SA trigger, never could. I have been shooting 1911's since I was eight years old, so that's 49yrs of familiarity with this platform. Please don't suggest another pistol, Kimber (have one), Glock 20 (have one), Sig, EEA, ect. I'm sticking with the 1911. My EDC is my Ed Brown Alpha Carry which replaced
my SA R.O. compact ( a fine pistol for the price) on my hip. There is no other platform, for me, that I can shoot as accurately as a 1911.

In the video below Jeff Quinn of Gun Blast shoots the hot ammo through the new DE and states he had no problems of any kind including, no case bulging either. He also states, that he feels if your having case bulges in a DE that you have some other problem not related to case support, such as the gun is coming out of battery too quickly from too weak a recoil spring or timing? Opinions please, thanks in advance!

I like the Sig my wife has. It's the P238 and in my opinion, the finest .380acp out there. That being said. I shot a SS P220 Elite in 10mm (like the one Hickok45 did a video on). It's a beautiful gun however, I did not like the grip angle, just not for me. I also found the slide release control was too close to the thumb safety for my hand. This was the SA only Sig of course.

I have been shooting 1911's since I was 8yrs old and to me they are a natural extension of my hand. I currently own a Ed Brown Alpha Carry (my EDC), a SA R.O. Compact, a Kimber TLE II which I converted back to the GI recoil system, dumped the Shwartz safety, and loaded it with Ed Brown "hardcore" fire control parts. I have owned, shot, traded, and sold, over 25 1911's in the past 30 plus year. So the DE is a much more familiar firearm to me. Jeff Quinn just did a great video of the newest Delta and he shoots and explains how it now handles even the hottest rounds. I have a Gen 3 Glock 20SF with KKm barrel and it shoots great, but it never feels as good in my hand as a 1911. Forget about the Glock being as accurate as the EB!

Anyway, looks like the S&W 1006 is going to fetch a nice sum and more than pay for the Delta, so no regrets!

 I already listed it on GB and Armslist, no safe queens for me. I too hate a DA/SA trigger. I can't shoot those triggers at all. I like either a smooth double action like on my Redhawk or a single action like on my 1911's. I don't do bad with the Glock or M&P Shield triggers, they just have to be consistent.  The only two pistols I ever regretted selling; a one off Les Baer built on my P-13 frame back when he was a one man show;  a 1952 Hi-Standard Field King with target sights and a 6.5" ported bull barrel. I found my old HS two months ago and bought it back for $50 less than I sold it for. I shoot the crap out of the HS, it's a complete tack driver. I am looking forward to my new DE! I'll shoot my G20 with KKM Barrel in the mean time.

I own a beautiful S&W 1006 built in 1991. It has been shot very little. I have just replaced the Recoil spring with a Wolf 20lb ( I also have a Wolf factory 18lb and a 22lb). My problem is that I do not own safe queens. Even my Marlin SBL 1895 .45-70 gets shot at least once a month, so here's my dilemma. As the spare parts for the 1006 no longer exist I'm not shooting it much. In fact my Glock 20 with KKM barrel is the only 10mm I'm shooting anymore. I have wanted a Delta Elite since the 80's. The new one comes with the better grip safety, sights, ejection port, trigger, ect. So I guess I'm going to sell the 1006 and it's four mags to pay for the Delta. I don't think I'm going to regret the sale of the 1006 as I'm not shooting it, well maybe in 10 years when they're worth 3 times as much. So tell me your thoughts on the new Delta Elite and keep and eye out on GB and GA for my 1006, it's a beautiful pistol!
