Bought a brand new Colt Officers once. First thing I did was disassemble it for a thorough cleaning. I could hardly disassemble the slide. Turned out the firing pin was cram packed full of metal shavings from the factory. I don't think it would have fired, and I certainly don't know how they even assembled it in the first place...
It pays to give a thorough cleaning even to a new firearm before you shoot it...
Yes Mystro, my experiences where really mine and maybe they are suppose to check all that before the pistol leaves the plant, but in my case, I guess they missed one...
I too hate to see Colt "go under". Even though their quality control lacked some on that day, I'm sure every company's quality control lacks some from time to time, but the topic was about Colt.
I will say this about the Officers that I was referring to, in every other way it was a nice pistol.
