I have a Colt 1911A1 Series 70 blue in 45acp and a Colt Delta stainless in 10mm. I am going to sell one. Which one should I keep and why? Thank you [8D]

  3 questions
  
  1) which do you like to shoot more?
  2) if put up for auction, what would you ask for each?
  3) do you have pics?

  It goes without saying that you should keep the one you enjoy shooting more. But in the absence of that, I would suggest selling the 10mm since it would likely fetch a higher price and the ammo is harder to get.

  If I was going to keep one but might never shoot it again, it'd be the Delta.

  I'd sell them both and get a pristine pre 70 series National Match. I have two of them and prefer them over any other 1911. Absolutely can't lose money on them.

  keep the 45, sell the 10. Ammo is more readily available in 45.

  +1 ammo is availble check around,not as cheap as 45acp but out there anyway,10mm will only go up in price in the future,45s are a dime a dozen,[wish they really were][:D]

  I started to look at the guns I had and started to think. Yes, I know that was my first mistake. Why did I purchase these guns and is the reason still valid. Some were toys, some are shooters and some I wanted to collect. I no longer have need for the toys and collection is not a priority. So I am keeping only those I like to shoot and will shoot. So I think I am selling the 10mm as well as a couple of other guns. Thanks for the in put.

  Personally I would keep the 10mm, but only because I would reload it and could use it for hunting in my state I couldn't however use the .45 hunting.
  
  I actually just put my 1911 up for sale a few days ago, its a .45 as well but never shot it because of cost of ammo and because I couldn't hunt with it.
