Have had a few guns in my time, but i've got to agree 100% with gp. The Colt will scar with a fingernail...shoots excellent...but Law'd a'mercy fella's need to be a leetle tougher...

and you didn't believe me did ya ???????

must have a Rockwell hardness of a cheap convenient store pocket knife , or less

honestly SG that’s why I don’t own a colt ,I didn’t make it up ,I had three at the time I bought a new colt officer acp in stainless , bad very bad scratches appeared on it out of no where ,then I finger nailed it and about crap my pants , I sold all three ,never to own one again

Never about not believin' ya...just gotta experience things firsthand...but wee's both of the same opinion now!...

Ain't gunna let it go though...'cuz it is a shootist...

Feller just ain't ever gunna be a collector (for it's finish anyway)...

Yep I know it’s a hard one to swallow ,and you probably thought I was nuts after reading it so many times

Sorry you had to experience it ,to make it more believable

you might keep this one ,but i bet you have second thoughts about forking out that kinda cash for another one
