The cracking frame problem was resolved when Bush 41 was in office. Colt simply cut out the part of the frame that cracked. Works just fine.
I don't know how the new Delta Elites hold up, but my old DE works just fine. I suspect the new DE's will too.
I do recommend a small radius firing pin stop. Not an absolute necessity, but a nice, inexpensive touch.
how is the fit on the slide to the frame. i love colts, but the sometimes tend to be a little loose

I know what you mean on the Colts. That is where you have to check each one for fit before buying.
its a fix that i can do, but why should i have to do it on a new gun. i heard kimber makes one too, but their new site really suxs. can find anything.
