The stainless slide and frame give this Series 80 Delta Elite a clean, durable presentation, with Government-size proportions and a 5-inch barrel. The slide bears 'COLT GOVERNMENT MODEL' and 'DELTA ELITE' rollmarks, and the flat mainspring housing preserves the traditional 1911 profile. Black checkered synthetic grip panels wear the Colt Delta medallions for model-specific identification.
Operating features include a single-action, short-recoil system with Series 80 firing pin safety, an extended single-side thumb safety, and a grip safety. The skeletonized three-hole trigger and Commander-style rowel hammer support a familiar 1911 control layout. A lowered ejection port and rear cocking serrations round out the practical slide details.
Sighting is handled by dovetailed Novak 3-dot units front and rear, providing a clear, straightforward sight picture. Both sights are dovetailed for secure installation and easy replacement if desired.
