  That type of thing makes Me long for the days when ammo did not cost Me anything and I had a virtually unlimited supply of practice ammo.
  Federal LE issue ammo.

  I'm curious as to whether the 24# spring is standard for the Delta? My gunsmith thinks mine is over-sprung with a 22# spring. I just like to run a spring that gives me reliability without throwing the brass into the next county.
  
  Just curious,

  There's no such thing as having too much ammo, unless you're on fire or trying to swim!

  The original DE's came with a 28 coil outer spring, they later changed to 32 coils. I think that's 23lbs. When I went to the 24lb wolf single spring I added a shock buffer and it seemed to me recoil & slide slamming is reduced or at least softer. Ejected brass only go 6 to 10 feet instead of 10 ft plus. I understand the new buffers (red) last longer than the blue ones. The hole thing cost $10.00, its worth a try. I put a 50rd box of ammo through the gun without any malfunctions.

  Fast if worried about practice cost for the Delta, Georgia Arms has a can of 500 rnds for $200.00 that equates to 40cnts a round ,not bad. save the good stuff for other times. :beer:

  Sometimes when I go to the range I take my Glock 20, Glock 19 and Makarov PM. I will shoot 30 rnds of 10mm, 45 rounds of 9mm, and when I get to my Makarov it's like shooting a .22.
  
  AIM Surplus has PPU 10 MM ammo for $17 for 50 rounds if you buy 500 and that's $.34 a round plus shipping. I have shot it a bunch and it's good enough for practice.

  I shot that georgia Arms stuff, still have a few rnds, and it shot ok, seems a little down loaded for 10mm, but, did I say shoots good.

  The Delta Elite is a 10mm firearm.
