I have a crossbreed for my 10mm Colt delta, not bad. But after also owning the Galco King Tuk for my Glock 17 I wouldn't by another Crossbreed. The king tuk is cut nicer (don't need the combat cut option) and its apox $40 cheaper and most Cabelas have them on the shelf.

I'm saving up for a Beretta 686 White Onyx and a 687 Silver Pigeon II. I'm sure if I just cut cigar expenditures for a few months I can afford them.

I haven’t personally handled one in the 8 months or so there out! But I understand that production may have been slowed by manufacturing issue with the MIM parts?? I am a 1911 guy so it would prolly follow me home if I found one.

Do you shoot 10mm auto often? I'm curious because I've been very interested the last year or so in getting a 10mm, looking at Glocks.. I don't want to spend out the azz for ammo, but it looks like thats just how 10mm is.

Yes I shoot it often, you can get 10 for $25-$29 a box. Heck the brass is worth .30 cents ea. So no its not as cheap as 9mm

The G20 and 29 are great and hold more rds then the delta that only holds 8. Heck you can by both the G20 & 29 for the less then the price of one Delta!!

I've never liked 1911's, but something about the Delta Elite makes me want one.. Maybe cause it's chambered in 10mm auto

I like the G29, and the price is more up my alley. I've shot my friend's G29 and it's a powerhouse of a gun, I was expecting more kick than what it delivered though. I also like the idea of 11 rounds of 10mm in that small package.

That's because most of the fmj ammo has been been turned into at best a +p .40 caliber load because of all the ***** girlish men that exsist...try shooting 10 mm 200 grain from double tap the way 10 is supose to be loaded. lol

It was maybe 180 that I shot then, can't imagine it was 200 grain Double Tap. Even then, I've been reading that the Double Tap is one of the hottest rounds, and people don't really complain about kick or control issues..

I recently purchased a Kahr CM9 and PJ IWB Clip Holster. I've carried IWB on and off over the past few years with varying gun/holster combos. Up until now I've just been using a flimsy braided leather belt. Well the time came to buy something more EDC worthy.

Enter the 5.11 Double Duty TDU 1.5" belt. Swung by the local tactical supply store to see how it would do, or if I needed to go with the Trainer belt, which costs 2x as much. The DD TDU belt is plenty stiff for EDC. It's 2-ply nylon webbing, twice as thick and stiff as the regular TDU belt, and is "reversible" and has a plastic buckle. The belt also has 5 rows of stitching to help with the stiffness. I picked up the tan/black combo for $19.99. I'm thuroughly impressed with this belt. It holds the weapon sturdy and is a comfortable belt for EDC or just casual wear. Overall I'd say it's a great EDC belt and a bargain for the money.
**One note to add, I wear 36: waist jeans but I had to step up to the 40-42: (XL) belt. I have about 4-6" of excess material with this fset up, which is fine. YMMV**

Here's a picture of the 2 color options, black/olive black/coyote:

Funny, I really wear a size 32 waist, but had to step up to a 42 belt...
