??? Which 1911 ???

[YukonGlocker]

Yes. I saw that.
Had it been a 5", I probably would have jumped on it.

Are you keeping this gun forever or will you be selling it in a few years?
You'll get a better resale % back on the Wilson versus the Colt + custom work.
How many rounds and will they be full power 10mm loads?
If you are pushing it hard the Wilson may work out better in the long run.
Personally I voted Colt and modify but I can see some advantages to Wilson.

 

[YukonGlocker]

I plan to keep it forever; but I would sell it before I let my family starve.
Don't know how many rounds, so I want it built as tough as possible; but I will not purposely try to wear it out.

I purposely tried to wear out a gun....a Glock 26....damn was that a waste of ammo.
I will use my 10mm, but not abuse (on purpose).

What the hell,you can can always have both for only twice the money.

 

[YukonGlocker]

I'd rather have one for half the money.

If you are set on a 1911 in 10mm, definitely go for a model with the 6" long slide. The additional slide mass makes the gun much more a long term player; it won't prematurely shake itself loose. Another plus for 6" slide is more bullet velocity and longer sight radius; the way to go in 10mm. A very popular set up in a hunting gun.

Because I may carry the gun, it will be a 5".

I voted but only as a very ignorant 1911 gun lover. I've seen numerous pics of Colt Delta Elites and I've loved every one of them. They're just sexy to me. I don't even know much about the Wilson you mention. But hey, you didn't say we had to have experience with both to vote. Or heck, even one of them.

Definitely go for the Wilson. They are worth the money and shoot like a dream. Their warranty and customer service just can't be beat.

I vote Wilson. Nothing against the colt which is a sweet gun but a custom Wilson you only have one person to deal with if problems arise and wilson's are just really good guns.
