Catchy title, huh?
Truth is simply that I boxed up my Colt 1991 (stainless) today and shipped it to Ted in AZ. That shipping is way expensive ($48 one way) but it will be worth it in the end.
Two local smiths did way wrong by me, making me a full-auto .45 when I really didn't want one, so I called Ted and asked for help. He was very polite and showed interest in my wants and needs. His work seems well regarded by posters here and on other boards. At least I know he's not a butcher....and that's very comforting right now.
The only thing I know, for sure, is that he's going to go over the firing mechanics to find out what the idiots did, and then correct it. After that, I'm looking to add Novaks front and rear, with the rear notch being opened up a good bit. Mr. Yost seems to think this is better for accuracy than the XS system, and it's more to my "traditional" liking.
I'm very excited. This is far better than Christmas was, trust me. The only downside is that the new BladeTech holster that I had ordered almost a month ago (custom job) arrived about two minutes after I finished boxing up my Colt. Now I'm gonna have to wait another month or more before I can try her out.
Could I please win just once?
