I purchased a new Colt Combat Commander. After only a couple of range trips, the front sight came loose. Also, the slide was locking open prematurely. Also, I discovered the recoil plug tunnel is off center.
I called Colt to find out what the specs were on the recoil plug tunnel, because if they weren't going to replace the slide, I was just going to have somebody local dovetail a new front sight and not worry about the tunnel.
But they couldn't give me the specs so I went ahead and shipped it today. (5/17/06)
It's going to be upsetting if they tell me I have to live with their mistake.
I shipped it UPS. They charged $43.50 for the package. Another $5.44 for fuel surcharge. $6.40 for ($800) insurance. And $4.25 for delivery confirmation. I sure hope Colt reimburses me.
Anyway, I'll let you know how it turns out. At this point, I'm pretty disappointed in the whole thing. I haven't even gotten to fire it that much.
