Pretty Nice. I've heard the Defender's were not reliable in .40S&W, how about the Gov't models?

I never had a .40 1911. I do have a S.S. Delta that has a .40 as a second barrel. Have only fired 300 rds. or so of .40 with no probs.. I've seen a few guys post here about wanting a .40 Colt so I thought I'd post this ad. Hope I'm not infringing on "no gun sales". Meant as only public service.

I too have heard of .40 Defender probs.. I would buy this gun and convert to 10mm, but I shot my gun money on a .38 super last week.

I don't think the .40 is a problem in the Government size, but believe there is/were problems in the Defender size guns. While it is hard enough to time extraction, ejection, and feeding in a .45 in a shortened recoil cylcle, the .40 presents even more problems.

If it wasn't for the NRA, the second ammendment would already be gone!

Hey popeye...
My thoughts too (converting to 10mm). Looks like a sharp pistol. Just bought a Delta Elite, so I guess I'll have to pass. Thanks for the heads-up.
Regards,
Sam

For any "collectors" out there- the Gov't Model in .40S&W is a REAL scarce piece. Very few made! Saw one in '92, none since. It should be worth a bunch of $ some day! Those SAA's look nice also-- good prices for today (Elmer Keith is probably spining in his grave- he thought Colt thumbusters were overpriced when they hit $125!).

Several interesting guns on this page. Those Cobras caught my attention.
