Preferred 10mm Pistol

The Colt Delta Elite was the unofficial OB pistol for a while.

G20 for the woods if you want firepower, simplicity, and working when pulling trigger.

Fancy glass case and punching holes in paper 10mm while saying pew pew pew then Colt Delta Elite

How available is 10mm ammo?

I have a Glock 20sf and it’s done everything a Glock is supposed to do. As for the ammo you can get it at academy or bass pro any day of eve week and even during the ammo drought it was easier to get than other due to the higher cost and less people that shoot it.

You are going to have to go the Gunbroker route. Colt hasn’t produced any in a year or so. I am looking for one myself. I talked to Colt last week and they said they are going to run another batch soon. You can find a nice used for $1500 on GB.

If you want to get him a badass Delta here is a Nighthawk Colt Hawk Delta Elite. Very rare and worth $3500 easy.

I wanted a 10mm for a while but I wanted a 4.25” 1911 so I waited until the rock island tac ms became available. If you think your friend would wanted the shorter barrel, that’s the cheapest and most available 4.25” 1911 at around $700.
If a 5” barrel, I really like the Kimber rapide’s. The dusk color is probably my favorite.

Dan Wesson Bruin or Kodiak in a new one ($2500 ish). I found a used DW Razorback but haven’t found the $1500 the guy wants for it. Dan Wesson is owned by CZ now. Almost Ed Brown quality at Colt prices. Best deal for the dollar

Springfield Armory xd-m 3.8" compact 10mm. Its a well made good shooting 11 shot pistol that's made under contract in Croatia for Springfield Arms..Would buy again.

Sig P220

Not G20 and not any 1911.

Just my preference, and it may be illogical, but I don’t like carrying cocked and locked with hammer back pointed at my leg or nuts.

Sig P220 is DA/SA with decocker. The Glock doesn’t have a manual safety and is always internally cocked. 1911s have a manual safety which is fine for me but the hammer cocked and locked bothers me, plus to decock it’s like decocking any single action pistol or lever rifle… do it wrong and you shoot a hole in the floor.

I love my Glock 20. Glock 40 would be a nice upgrade too.
