It has problems with light primer strikes shooting PMC 132 gr in double action, it will fire them single action. No problem with firing federal primers. I believe someone adjusted the V spring a bit too light. It is very accurate, I can make double holes at 10 yards.Terrific looking. How does it shoot? No funny stuff here everyone
You basically summed up my reason for buying it. For what it is $900 isn't too bad a price.I think it’s a “shooter” not a “looker” and I like it!
If it had the old deep Colt bluing, the kind where you quietly lose your soul staring in to its depths, I couldn’t bring myself to shoot it for fear of scratching it.
My opinion, that’s a good enough looking finish to warrant pictures but not so rare I would not carry it in the field. $900? I think you did good!
I'm not sure who did the refinish. I doubt it was Colt, but from what I can see it was an excellent job. It had to be completely disassembled, and attention was given to each part.Guess I should have been more direct in my previous reply. I have shot a number of these and there is no question that these go beyond just looking beautiful as they have some of the best triggers I have felt. ….
My question is;
Is this a Colt factory finish option or aftermarket?
Be Safe !!!
There it is a an item that I did not notice before and that is the original grips as well as a new set. Those grips are worth some bucks. At our last G.S. I saw two of these with the original finish. I know I would not shoot those as often as you are going to shoot yours. …….I'm not sure who did the refinish. I doubt it was Colt, but from what I can see it was an excellent job.
Do you still have the. 38?I bought a 4" 38 & 22 when they first came out. The 22 didn't shoot as well as a K22 so I
traded it off. The 38 was deadly accurate. It shot better than my S&W 15.
