Jorah, What's your barrel length?
Jorah,
How long is the barrel on your gun, like I mentioned, mine is the 4,5". I have yet to shoot this thing at my outdoor range so maybe I'll take it out this weekend and stretch it out a bit like you say. You also mentioned the cheapo sights, I found mine to be a rare version! When looking for a replacement front blade, I was told that they are all supposed to be plastic ribs and the front blade is integral to the rib, that made we wonder as mine are machined aluminum as is the blade and the blade actually is an independent insert! I was referred back to Colt and they verified that just a handfull of the earliest guns were released with my sight configuration, a rarity. That made me kind of happy as this gun is no longer made and its in N.I.B. condition so maybe someday it might command a little more value...who knows!
