I rescued a Delta Elite from a local pawn shop several years ago. The blue finish was about 90% and there were two places on the slide that had slight pitting due to what I believe to have been contact with blood.
At $480.00, out the door, I didn't pass it up and shot it for a while before having it refinished. I have only had two firearms refinished and this one turned out nicely.
The finish is a gun metal grey with Novak night sights added, a Wilson trigger and VZ Operator Grips. I replaced the plastic mainspring housing with a WWII Colt MSH with a lanyard loop. I carry it hunting and do, in fact, have it tethered to a lanyard as it rides in a Milt Sparks holster.
