Article: 6:1 Submission to FIREARMS file: > My Colt Government Model .45 worked perfectly right out of the box. Buy > cheap and you get cheap. > Clayton E. Cramer My Colt Gold Cup had a 10% - 20% failure to feed rate out of the box and the rear sight was mounted at about a 5 - 10 degree angle from horizontal. I sent it back and they fixed both problems, but scarred the slide while fixing the sight. Buy expensive and you can still get cheap. Roak

Article: 6:8 Which reminds me of the time I bought a new Combat Commander. I took it out to the range. The cases ejected directly into my face from a regular 2-handed stance. (It pays to wear shooting glasses.) After the first magazine was empty, I pressed the slide stop to release the slide and cut my thumb on its sharp edge. I replaced the ejector and filed down the edges on the slide stop to solve the problems. Nothing like Colt quality...... Jon Kaplowitz ihnp4!erc3ba!jfka
