I have a 2007 Colt Delta Elite that I would charitably call "not very good", as it had to go back to Colt twice, due to it bulging Blazer Aluminum, lmao.

I know they're a different company now, but shit like that is kinda hard to forget.

I know what you mean. Saved up all of 2006 to get a Series 70 in 2007. Had to go back to Colt 3 times. My third pistol back from them I got with a letter from some manager claiming he'd cherry picked it off the line for me. It was still fucking dogshit.

Which sucks because as much as I don't like revolvers in general I do want a 6" Anaconda.

Comments are all begging for 7.62x39 for the most part

AAC ammo had such a bad rep PSA has to rebrand it lol

You know, I'm willing to chance a Turkish Python considering how shitty new ones from Colt currently are.

Everything I have heard about Colt's quality since CZ brought them back from being nearly dead has been positive. The only gripe I have heard about the new Pythons is the action isn't quite as nice as the originals due to needing to pass Commiefornia drop safety bullshit, and the rear sights aren't as robust as the old Python's. Both issues are easily remedied. Everything else has been glowing, which is why I bought one.

Like for real, how in the actual fuck does this happen?

are these the MIM parts all the uncs complain about? I've got a vague memory of the new small frame Colt snubs having a weak internal component destined to break that may have been related to that.

Mim or not, the rough finish of the slide stop STAMPING ITSELF INTO THE FUCKING FRAME under recoil is fuckin' crazy to me. Is it really force from the twist of the rifeling driving the slidestop into the frame or something? Legit haven't seen that happen on any other 1911, lmao.

Edit: My Uncle has a re-arsenaled Colt M1911 (1918 manufacture, bought by my Grandpa in the '50s for like $12 as surplus..) and it hasn't done that over literally 100 years + of use.
