The Colt Delta Elite occupies a unique spot for collectors and shooters who value late‑80s American steel and classic 1911 ergonomics. This specific example offers a strong mix of display quality and serviceable condition for range use or collection rotation.
COLT DELTA ELITE- Government Model is a 1988 manufacture in excellent overall condition. It features mint wrap‑around rubber grips, beautiful bluing across the slide and frame, and a clean, clear bore. The left side of the frame shows a small scratch under the slide release lever near the trigger area and the exterior of the barrel has visible striations consistent with past use; the piece needs some oiling but otherwise presents very well. It ships with one magazine and a storage zip pouch and is priced at $1,500.99. Shop this product
Condition and notable features
From a tactical and collector standpoint, the mint wrap‑around rubber grips are a standout — they improve handling and conceal the age of the frame well. The bluing remains attractive throughout, indicating careful storage. The clean bore and clear barrel interior are important for reliability and accuracy; exterior barrel striations are cosmetic and typical for a gun with service history. The small scratch under the slide release is clearly described in the listing, and overall the pistol benefits from a light service and lubrication before extended use.
Handling, weight, and practical notes
Weighing in at about 2.82 lbs and packaged in an M1 box (SKU-25100051), this pistol balances the heft expected of a government‑frame semi auto with ergonomics favorable to controlled follow‑up shots. The included single magazine and storage pouch make this a turn‑key purchase for someone adding a period correct 1988 pistol to a safe. Because the listing directs buyers to a retail partner for purchase, expect to be routed to the shop page where you can complete the transaction.
