Have a chance to buy a 10 MM colt in good condition . What is a fair price?  Asking price is $400.

I havent seen a Delta in a long time, good condition, $400?  If you pass on it I'd like a shot at it.

That seems a fair price from all I read. The Delta is a good base for those boys that do custom work on em, Ted Yost, Christenson, ect, but they charge a lot and the wait can be awhile.

DogHunter - go for it, now.  $400 for a used Delta Elite is pretty good.  I love those 10mms, they hit hard and the Delata Elite is a good lokkin' Colt.  See if the dealer who has this piece if he has any history on it - it may have bgeen owned but not shot much.  

Anyhow, if you buy it, get some new springs for it from Wolffe Springs in Pennsylvania, and get some heavy ones.  The 10mm can be snappy but with heavy prings it is much easier on your wrist.  HTH.  Mikey.

I'd give $150 for it, and not a penny more.

OK......I'll refund your $400, pay for shipping, and give you another $10 for picking it up for me.   Thanks.....send me an address and I'll get the check and FFL to you.   Good purchase!  Enjoy your shooting.

Sounds like you got a good deal.  I'm sure you will enjoy it and I hope it shoots well for you.  I like to use Winchester nickel-plated cases, Federal primers, Unique powder, and Hornady's 200 grain XTP in mine.
