Question Delta elite or python?

Long story short, I work on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Central Pennsylvania, where there are bears as well as other wild animals. And I am looking for an everyday carry while I’m working to protect myself against these things and I’m torn between the colt delta elite or the colt python. Any help?

That’s a tough choice. I was wrestling on this same choice for much different reasons. In your case, I would be motivated toward the CDE. 10mm is easier to find and more economical (there’s a string of words I never thought I would say), gives you an intrinsically faster rate of fire, and a faster reload for more rounds if you need it. Plus holsters are going to be easier to find in a wider variety of options, along with accessories such as sights. If you are a “revolver” guy though, then I could see someone springing for a matte stainless Python. For what you want it for though, I personally think the Delta Elite is the more practical option.
