Delta Elite aesthetics are unsurpassed imo.

just shoot low power target loads through it like everyone else with a magnum gat at the range, save your wrist and wallet

I don't think your answers are going to improve based off of how many threads you make. What have you used before? Generally a:
1. Colt
2. 1911
3. 10mm
are all things handgun newbies shouldn't dive head-first into. You're setting yourself up for a difficult and expensive learning experience with a firearm that most people don't use for high round counts. You will be happier starting with something you aren't scared of getting scratches on, that is easy to disassemble and maintain for a beginner, has cheaper ammunition, is more pleasant to shoot and learn technique with, and has more variety in accessories so you can experiment a little and not drop $150 on every new holster. Unless you think you'll enjoy all of that stuff, but you will get tired of it fast.

>Aesthetics come first
Maybe you should hang on to that cash for a little while and keep looking at other guns. Hi Powers are good and I'd argue a better choice in general but you're starting your weapons search at an odd end of the spectrum. They are plenty of "pretty" pistols out there that are steel framed and don't cost a grand.

that's called a .40 S&W, they are much cheaper if you absolutely need a 10mm for target shooting.

oh god you're retarded

springfield range officer operator 9mm.

once you get good - buy the 10mm.

Beretta 92

it just depends on what you want to do with it, you are not going to wind up carrying a 10mm 1911 very much, it's just too much gun

if you want to shoot it at the range mainly and get used to it I would get a 9mm GLOCK or Smith and Wesson M&P, or something else that is common and mundane and get good shooting that.

Once you have shot a modern mainstream gun a lot you will have a better feel for if you want a 100 year old design like the 1911 or the hi power

It's like buying a 69 Camaro for a first car, that's cool and everything but really you should probably get an accord and then decide later if you need a less reliable super powerful old car

I just picked up this for 700 off buds guns shop, aesthetic, compact, easy to clean. It's also light weight. You don't need to spend 1k get a commander sized 1911 and a decent holster and spend the rest on ammo
