Thread: Colt broke today...

Went to qualify this morning, and in the middle of the first course the safety broke off my Colt.





I was very disappointed as this is my daily carry, but I put up the Colt and finished out the rest of the qualification with the G23, scoring a 284 and a 286. JMB disciples, hang your heads.

Now, to get it fixed and back onto my hip.

sad sad day

You broke that on purpose.....Colts don't break

MIM part?

Moral of the story, stick with the Glock in the first place and you would have been better off.

Possibly, but my Dep't. carries 1911's, so that's not an option.

Yeah M-4, from what I understand Colt now uses several MIM parts, that being one of them. Replaced it with a Wilson Combat, and qualified again today with it. No problems this time.

Glad you got it fixed and back in action.

Don't feel too bad, I've had to replace the safety's and slide locks on a few of mine. All replaced with Wilson some before they broke just to make sure. If it were to fail when I needed it, I'd be a dead man and it would be my fault as I knew ahead of time.
