Sighting in fixed sight Colts is really pretty easy. It should be shooting low and left out of the box. There is only one way to correct elevation; file the front sight down. They are all made tall to allow for this. Correcting windage can be done one of two ways. The more desireable way is to screw the barrel in farther; they are not bottomed out specifically so you can do this. You do need a barrel vise (or some soft vee blocks for a normal vice) to do this, so most folks just clink a big old pair of vise grips on the sight and bend it a little. Do this before filing it down, so there is enough meat to grab onto. Pad the jaws with some cardboard and bend away.

Can't help with the loading/unloading part; that's just a part of the game. It served to slow my machine-gunning boys down a bit when they were little, and I'm just so used to doing it I don't even think about it. I'm never in that big of a hurry anyway.
