    At least it's got a ramped barrel. I'm putting a Briley coned barrel and comp on my Delta Elite but I have to get the frame cut first.

    The Nitro 10 is a good looking pistol. I would have saved extra for it but I got my Delta Elite a couple years ago.

    they should have made a pistol caliber carbine in 10mm Auto with a 30 round magazine.
