My understanding (received admittedly through the lens of some Colt fanboyism) was that they had a bit of trouble dialing in their processes after the move to CNC. I'm sure their repeated financial struggles were of little help.
I have a couple recent examples, though, that I'm *very* happy with. This includes a 3" Defender model that eats anything and runs flawlessly, despite the dire predictions from "famous" gunsmiths that 1911s under 5" can never be made to run properly.
Congrats on the new Colt! Is the mainspring housing still plastic? I hate that - it's always the 1st thing I replace.
