Sending off my Delta Elite and 9mm 1991 Colt to Wilson Combat to have some work done: 3 dot sights checker front strap extended thumb safety beavertail grip safety commander hammer (for 9mm) trigger job flat & checkered mainspring housing bulletproof extractor Both guns are range guns bought NIB from old stock. The finish on both guns are perfect. I don't carry either and I have no reliability problems. However, I would like the ergonomics of the checkered front strap, extended thumb safety, flat & checkered mainspring housing, and beavertail grip safety. I did the bulletproof extractor because I figured while it is there... And a nicer trigger can't hurt. But I see no reason to do the hammer on the Delta, because the Delta hammer is similar to the commander hammer and no chance of bite. I see no reason to mess with the barrel or bushing, because they are both pretty accurate and reliable as they are now. And lastly, I was going to do the bulletproof slide stop, but I have a hard time believing that this thing will break. BTW, I previously swapped out the stock recoil guide rod in the DE for a Wilson FLGR and Wolf spring. Am I forgetting something? I know it would be nice to have Wilson do more, but cost is always a consideration. |

Looks good. Colt uses good slide stops, no reason to replace them with Wilson parts. You might consider having the barrel lugs welded up and fitted to the slide, and a fitted barrel bushing, if you want the most in accuracy potential. No need for slide to frame fitting, as the cost to benefit ratio is much too small. |
Good advice. The fitment of the barrel is more important than slide to frame fit with regards to accuracy. |

I was a little reluctant to change the bushing because I did not want to have to use a wrench for takedown even without a flgr. Come to think of it, my CQB's bushing is not TOO tight, so maybe I will have them do the match bushing, while it is there, and since it is relatively inexpensive. |
