Ugh!!! Typical Colt b.s. - reports already coming in that some of the first batch have been shipped with damaged crowns. Very noticeably damaged, with the damage extending an inch or so down into the muzzle, like the pilot on the counterboring tool used to recess the crown was damaged or off center.
I swear these guys are their own worst enemy. They had to know the world was watching. They had to know what we expected, that any new "Python" had damn well better be perfect. No apologies, no excuses. To have let these slip by is absolutely inexcusable.
Yes, Colt is scrambling to fix them as quickly as possible. Yes, this is literally one in a thousand. But it's out there. Kinda steals their thunder just a bit...
