I bought an unfired Delta last year. It ate its slide in short order. Colt replaced it at no charge. I've fired 800 mixed handloads through it, from six different mags, and have yet to experience a stoppage. So, while the gun may be discontinued, Colt is still supporting it. 800 rounds is too soon to tell, but I don't see any signs of excessive wear. The fit and finish of this circa 1990 "darkest days" pistol are outstanding.
