Nice. FYI they changed the cocking serrations to the newer milled style in 2015, so if you order a brand new gun you will get that regardless of the display photo.

Having owned one...don't. They are pretty but...

No ramped barrel combined with poor case support, recoil springs too weak for the caliber, firing pin stop contoured for .45 not 10mm for delaying slide opening, and a history of frame cracks on the older models. They aren't built to handle anything but mild .40S&W level loads.

Bulged brass happened a lot with anything even slightly approaching decent 10mm level loads. The crease/bulge is where case support ends on the Delta Elite barrel.

Then this starts happening. Mind you this was with heavier recoil springs and a flat bottom firing pin block.

I enjoy mine a lot, although my aim and form could use a ton of work. If it's yourfirst 1911, I couldn't say it's the best starter 1911 due to the price point, but really it's up to you.
