The pistol was dropped from production in 1996 due to lackluster sales and the availability of smaller pistols with higher magazine capacities chambered in. The ill-fated Bren Ten sparked a genuine interest in the 10mm round with outdoorsmen and as a defense round. The Delta Elite is credited as being the first firearm produced by a major manufacturer to chamber the 10mm. Released in 1987, it was the second commercial pistol chambered in the 10mm cartridge, following the Dornaus & Dixon manufactured Bren Ten pistol, which was released in 1983 and pioneered the 10mm Auto chambering.
The stainless steel Government Model version has recently been reintroduced. A Delta Gold Cup model was also offered for target competition. Colt manufactured both stainless steel and blued versions with eight-round magazines. It is similar to the M1911 in design and operation.
