Lots of internet myths and misinformation and belly button gazing certainly, frames, case support, nylon guide rods, etc

They are rock solid with any current factory loading, my favorite commercial is the Sig fun, I keep a couple mags of Win silvertip for bump in the night

Unfortunately much of the “myths’ about it come from past experience with the Delta. It has only been about 4 years since I owned mine but it was enough to steer me away from Colt. Colt tends to rely too much on their name rather than innovation and business savvy. The same company that had to file for bankruptcy sells their new single action revolvers as fast as they can make them (and yet production is limited). This is the same company who’s Python revolvers sell for 10 times more used (or more) than they did new yet they will not bring them back and will let the used market profit. The Delta has been around for a while and I wouldn’t have expected to have issues with mine but I suppose it could have been a fluke. Nevertheless I think there are better options in 10mm and being an FFL I get to see more than the average guy. I’m not saying Colt is junk but I think they are a bit behind in firearms innovation and I think there are better options for the price or better options for a little more. I would Spend more and get a Dan Wesson over the Delta or even a Springfield Armory TRP but that’s just me.

I’ve owned a S&W 1006, G20, G29 , G40 and Colt Delta. I’ve always wanted the Delta but I ended up selling it. I never could get it to run properly with handloads. I’d stick with something that can handle a lot of full power loads. The Colt looked nice but never worked well and everything else I’ve had worked well but didn’t look nice.
