I hate it when a plan fails...
I hate it when plans fail, but at least I plan for failure! I planned to make a run to Lubbock today, get an OHV sticker for my Jeep, and maybe check out a few things around Lubbock. Then my Boss suggests I look into something he saw at Academy in Midland, so I called and two of my list of guns that I really want were in stock as a single pistol so I changed plans, new plan was go to Midland.
I get to Midland, purchase the gun I wanted and I tracked down an Indoor range so I could fire a few rounds. All is working out according to plan until I get ready to leave, and then I see it. In the case is another pistol on my list of guns that I really want, and the price is acceptable.
The three items on my list of guns that I really want were:
10mm 1911 platform.
STI Lawman
Colt 1911.
I came home to Gaines County with these:

Re: I hate it when a plan fails...
I enjoyed the Delta Elite today, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the STI Lawman as well. Maybe I can get to the range during the week, also I feel I need to point out that these two were pretty high up on my list, in fact three out of the four top spots are now marked off. Now when I rebuild my cash reserves I may look at adding a Republic Forge (Another Texas manufacturer) pistol to the mix. Maybe something with a Case Color finish, Mammoth Ivory Grips, ...
While I was purchasing these I was OCing a Kimber TLE II, and CCing a Sig P938...

Wow! I'd say a failure well done! I'm truly happy for you, and we expect a FULL range report ASAP.

One of the most successful failures in recorded history. Nice pieces. I need to grow my 1911 collection.

Re: I hate it when a plan fails...
When I fail I tend to do so in a spectacular manner. The failure is that I did not get the OHV sticker I wanted for my Jeep.

How does that Delta Elite shoot? The only 10mm I ever shot was a Glock. I've never shot the caliber in any other platform.

Re: I hate it when a plan fails...
It shoots nicely, I haven't shot it side by side with my Glock 20sf yet but I think the felt recoil is slightly greater on the Delta Elite but the sharpness of the recoil is much less. Then again it may be my pre-conceived notions of how it should have recoiled compared to my 1911s in .45.The Annoyed Man wrote:How does that Delta Elite shoot? The only 10mm I ever shot was a Glock.

Re: I hate it when a plan fails...
The short version is An OHV sticker is required for off roading on property that receives state money.
I prefer to go get them in person so that I can use them shortly afterwards.

I thought maybe it was a sticker to let people know you had a Over Head Valve engine.G.A. Heath wrote:The short version is An OHV sticker is required for off roading on property that receives state money.

Re: I hate it when a plan fails...
Exactly, the same reason I dropped in on the indoor range where I got the STI, I wanted to use the Delta Elite on the way home. Maybe I should add that OHV stands for Off Highway Vehicle.The Annoyed Man wrote:You mean like on the way home?G.A.
