I just read a thread on another forum that said the spring finger collet bushings on Colt 1911's have a reputation for breaking. That brought up a couple of questions for me: DO they have a reputation for breaking? And if so, does that render the gun un-shootable or does it just affect accuracy? Anybody ever had this happen? I have a high respect for the Colt brand & I can't imagine that Colt would let something like this go on for very long. Your comments?
