What did you buy yourself today - PART 1

[Hodgie]

Nice shooting looks like a clean kill.

[Engrish]

got some a2 thin handguards and a fiberlite stock, for a semi-retro m4 commando look.

I like those Safariland holsters. They're not very concealable unless you're wearing a jacket or loose shirt, but the damn things are built like tanks & the paddle & retention system are very secure.

I know, I have one for my G17 and like it so much I got it for the M&P. So comfortable and such an easy in/out!

What the hell, I was tryin' to give Hodgie some rep for his comment about "Looks like a clean kill" and I get a pop-up that says, "You must spread some rep around before you can give more to Hodgie."

EFF that, here's your rep Hodgie!

I guess I better pretend to like everybody else now, what is this spreading the rep shit, a participation medal?

NICE!
Had one in order. Took too long to show up. So I cancelled the order, and I picked this up instead...

It came with those wrap around grip thing, which I didn't like, So I took that off right away

Nice Delta, I'll have to pick one up someday, just never see them locally. Those grips look much better than the wraparounds, I'm not a fan of them either. Is that a factory thumb safety? Looks longer than the normal Colt.

My lgs has one of those, was fondling it the other day deciding if I want to get or not. Congrats, very nice!

happy birthday to me

Sharp eye.
Yes, its thumb safety is different. I did not noticed that until I got home. Not sure what the deal is. But Gun is brand new.
If you look at Colt Website, Delta Elite is listed with picture, which is rocking standard Government style. But if you look at the Combat Elite, it has the same thumb safety as I have on my Delta.

I'm guessing with all the shenanigans happening at the Colt, they could be having an issue keeping up with out sourced parts(which I'm sure many things on this gun are), as not many parts people would like to sell you things on credit when your company is going through the chapter 11. So they may have resulted to grabbed whatever parts that were available?

Or they simply updated the design, and are too lazy to fix the web site?



While thumb safety itself is nicely made(with just right amount of extended lever and all, feel of it engage/disengage is standard Colt. No tactile feel to it at all! It does not click off , and difficult to engage....

Picked up my recent purchase from Bud's.
